Tibetans in China have more priviledges than any other ethnic group in China including the Chinese. Almost everything is free for the Tibetan, including University. Every year the Chinese government spend billions and billions for the Tibetans. Tibet has some of the best roads, bridges and housing and they're better than a lot of the stuff in Canada or the U.S.
The Dalai Lama supports the Olympics and he even supports China because without China, Tibet would be not survive.
If there's cultural genocide, it's the Chinese in Indonesia. The Chinese aren't allowed to speak Chinese in public, Chinese signs are banned, Chinese names are banned including first names and surnames. Celebrating Chinese New Year in public is banned. The Chinese get beat up on the streets in Indonesia all the time. If you're not Indonesian, but Chinese visiting from another country, you have to pay a tax because you're ethnically Chinese if you visit Indonesia. Do you hear about this in the Western media?? No, because Western media doesn't seem to care about suffering Chinese in countries other than China.
