The March outbreak of violence in Tibet

As you know, China had been suffered the March outbreak of violence in a Tibet few months ago. Because Tibet attempt to be an independent country. So China has stepped up its campaign to vilify the Dalai Lama who is the Tibetan spiritual leader , blamed him for the unrest, which Beijing says was part of the campaign to split the Himalayan region from the rest of China. Dalai Lama spended several months to travel globe to highlight the struggle of Tibetans for greater freedom in China and to teach Buddhism. Delai Lama often leads the Tibetan to against the Chinese rule.
As a chinese, I very hopefully that China can be more unity. But we can not advoid some people who against their own country. I think some other country has the same situation as China. So, if a country can not hold together, it is so hard for a country to survive, to compete with other country.

That's a tough controversy. You chose a topic that a lot of people would be interested in reading. Minh wrote something about the Olympics in his first blog. You should check it out and respond to him: minhtr0309.blogspot.com
I have mixed feelings about this issue. I do believe if a people do not want to be part of a larger country, they have the right to be separate. But in our modern world, the big country means the safe and prosperous one. My question is why does Tibet mean so much to China? Are the people Chinese in Tibet?
Maybe you could do some more research and form a sharper opinion article on this controversy?
