I'm Korean. We Koreans also have suffered from Japanese occupation and pressure with losing our country. We also believe that Tibet is indeed Tibet and belong to Tibetan people while ending Chinese aggregation and occupation. FREE TIBET FROM KOREA! 💙💛❤

Free Tibet

Love the chinese cultures but hate the oppresive regime of the CCP. Sending my support to Tibet, Hong Kong, the Xinjiang Uyghurs and the chinsese people. Love from Sweden

Thanks Al-Jazeera for covering the Tibet topic n the world really needs to hear the truth now! And human right is more important than economy!

Tibet will never die. Bodh gyalo

"One smile of Dalai Lama is much more powerful and potent than all the china's money and military power put together" - Tenzing Tsundue. Well said brother ..hats off!!

Free Tibet! Give Tibetans a separate country! 🇮🇳🇮🇳

FREE TIBET

Free Tibet, Free HongKong, Free Taiwan!

This is how a debate should be.. something my country's Indian media should learn !

There is no point in talking about this. Tibet is so utterly crucial to China's strategic security, both militarily and for water that nothing short of a nuclear WW3 would be able to separate it from China.

Will Catalonian have a homeland of their own? Will the Kurds have a homeland of their own? Will Scotland and Wales have a homeland of their own? Will Greenlanders have a homeland of their own? Will Native Americans have a homeland of their own?

Tibet will independence soon it’s only matter of time . I SUPPORT TRUTH AND TRUTH IS TIBET IS BELONGS TO TIBETAN 👍👍👍❤️❤️❤️

*FREE TIBET* I am with Tibetans, the whole world needs to help these peace loving people to gain freedom for their country.

We support a free Tibet.

Until 1949, Tibet was an independent Buddhist nation in the Himalayas which had little contact with the rest of the world. It existed as a rich cultural storehouse of the Mahayana and Vajrayana teachings of Buddhism. Religion was a unifying theme among the Tibetans -- as was their own language, literature, art, and world view developed by living at high altitudes, under harsh conditions, in a balance with their environment. The Dalai Lama, an individual said to be an incarnation of the Buddha of Compassion, had been both the political and spiritual leader of the country. The current Dalai Lama (the 14th) was only 24 years old when this all came to an end in 1959. The Communist Chinese invasion in 1950 led to years of turmoil, that culminated in the complete overthrow of the Tibetan Government and the self-imposed exile of the Dalai Lama and 100,000 Tibetans in 1959. Since that time over a million Tibetans have been killed. With the Chinese policy of resettlement of Chinese to Tibet, Tibetans have become a minority in their own country. Chinese is the official language. Compared to pre-1959 levels, only 1/20 monks are still allowed to practice, under the government's watch. Up to 6,000 monasteries and shrines have been destroyed. Famines have appeared for the first time in recorded history, natural resources are devastated, and wildlife depleted to extinction. Tibetan culture comes close to being eradicated there.

Especially for tibetans younger generation. If you want to understand a genuine Tibet history then please read few books listed. 1) Status of Tibet by van prag. 2) Political History of Tibet by Tsipon Shagaba 3) The story of Tibet by thomas L, 4) My land and my people by Dalai Lama 5) Noodle makers by Gylodhundup. U can find in english version.

6.3 millions Tibetans live in Tibet, and 150,000 exiled Tibetans live all over the world, wheres the other homeland they have to have their own ?

As a Tibetan we have our rich history older than Chinese history fake ones which claims everything as their own since ancient times. They fired tanks in potala palace, destroyed temple, almost wiped out our population, if that devastating event is peaceful liberation than we as a citizen of world must be blind. We lost our homes but our hopes remains the same. My prayers and support for the people of Hong Kong and Taiwan , never give up.

Thank you aljazeera for bringing a Tibet issue alive.

Support for Tibet from Vietnam

Lets california, hawaii, guam, marshall, florida, montana, etc be freedom also..........

Dont worry Tibetians, we Indians are with you

Very informative!

No, never. Next question? Better question is will china ever give up their territory? Course not.

What a rude interview, can't even give the other guy chance to speak.

Al Jazeera going full anti china lol

will native American could have their own homeland in north America ?

About 70 % of Tibet population are Han Chinese. Every years Beijing Government send letter to Han Chinese seeking volunteers to migrate to Tibet with extra perks. Eventually Tibet will have 95% Han Chinese. The Tibetan homeland now is India.

Go to Arunachal Pradesh (South Tibet)，currently illegally occupied by India..

Thank you Aljazeera for the platform. We believe media is one who can bring justice to those people who have just cause. The statements made by That Chinese is absolutely wrong. 1. His Holiness the Dalai Lama is seeking Genuine Autonomy despite the fact that Tibet was never been part of China 2.Roads and Railway tracks built not for the Tibetans but for Chinese military transportation and Export of mines from Tibet. Thank you Tsuendu la. Great job

“Will native americans ever have their own homeland back?” Let’s throw back the question to the face.

A free Tibet will be a gem to the whole world. The spirituality, the ancient knowledge and wisdom, and the land itself are the greatest assets to peace in the world! I hope we see a free Tibet in our lifetime!

Hey chiness plz treat Tibetan properly and help them to grow and just ignore this baised media Love from india ❤

03:26 Johnny Depp?

People need to realise that Tibet has been part of China longer than USA has even been a country. China only temporarily lost control of its borders due to foreign invasions and civil conflict. If people say "free Tibet" and let the native Tibetans rule Tibet, then they must also support USA to dissolve and North America ruled by native American Indians. Otherwise theyre hypocrites.

Look at Indian Reserves in American today, Tibet people are in way better situation.

no, china will never allow any part of its land separate from itself anymore, inclusive of taiwan.

Great, very great information, very interesting. Long live the freedom of thinking, and the freedom of talk.

Everyone comparing Native Americans to Tibetans just stop. Although this country does belong to the Natives there is no current human rights violation against them. This is why it's VITAL to support the Tibetans RIGHT NOW. China has been violating many human rights and they need to be stopped!

It was Mongolian and Manchurian rule but they called themselves Yuan and Qing. They adopted Chinese language, culture, political system, etc. They saw themselves successors of previous Chinese dynasties. They got themselves assimilated into Chinese. Ironically, Manchurian is the only minority that have lost their own language. Today’s China is not an ethnic country but a civilization country with 56 ethnicities shaped by history.

China's border is what they call great wall of China and it is near Peking and outside of it are all foreign lands. So people can imagine how much China has illegally occupied all those lands over the years which belong to Tibet, East Turkistan, Mongolia and Manchuria.

good program.

British put many small states together 200 years ago, forming today's India. We should smash India into 10 parts before talking about Tibet.

10:55 that response from @TenzinTsundue to the China man's b.s is GOLD 18:33 even the panel host is fed up with the China man parroting CCP rhetorics

culdnt agree more with tenzin tsundue & andrew👍👍....

weird, RoC known as taiwan has a constitution that states Tibet to be a part of Republic of China,yet still Taiwanese support this separation.funny

Like Mao Tse Tung said” power flow through barrel of gun”. We Tibetan won’t have homeland of our own until we are ready to sacrifice our life and launch armed revolution worldwide where Tibetan Diaspora are. We need to joined hands in solidarity with our Uyghur, Mongol and millions of Chinese brothers and sisters who are also facing persecution. We need to reawaken the spirit of Gompo Tashi Andruktsang, Bawa Yeshi, Gyato Wangdui and others brave Chusigangdruk Army. Free Tibet!!!

Will American Red idians get their land back?

Alright I couldn't control myself- I see a lot many ungrateful refugees who are already taking refuge in india for century and complaining about how northeast india and Arunachal P not being part of india. Excruciatingly creating misinformation for international viewers. Yes! We were a backward integral part back then well no one knew about our tribes and traditions and that is why we are considered as indigenous tribe of India 🇮🇳. And trust me we major tribe such as abotani clans are/have nothing similar to those Tibetan tradition except the East-kameng district of Arunachal Pradesh who are very much related to Tibet/Bhutan both in culture and tradition. Yes! We are also already are ethnic in tribes with different districts. We give you emphaty Tibetans but please do not point those jealous fingers at our people, our freedoms. and Right now kuch bhi sochlo i.e Northeast india is part of india. We voluntarily are Indians. And I love my country 🇮🇳. Peace!

Welcome home Tibet people of China , you parts of family not puppet of western country.

Free Tibet from pakistan....✌️

if they give back America to Indians and give back Australia to kangaroo.i promise to people who is from all around this world.CHINA will agree with everything you said.

May the Tibet liberate from the bonds of Chinese dictatorship

Right now, Tibetan GDP per capita is two times as much amount of Bhutan and 8 times of Nepal. the gap will go further in the foreseeable future.

Stop intervening on the economic condition of Tibet, its our responsibility better you should bring the authentic information that how Tibet is your country on the historical perspective. You are unable to answer define that you are lying over the world, you are deceiving to world.

Free tibet

Tenzin tsundue you nailed it this time.. brother I am proud of you

Algazera is now my new favorite news channel

Jai Tibet jai hind

I want Tibet to be free from People's Republic of China. We Arunachali always had good relations with Tibet in the past, We want to continue that.

I have been to Tibet twice. To free Tibet, the exiled Tibetans will have to convince the 6.5 million Tibetans living in Tibet, Gansu, Qinghai and Yunnan. I have some Tibetans as friends and nobody wants out of China. Exiled Tibetans outside China number only 150,000. How can 150,000 inconsequential exiled Tibetans living overseas fight against the will of 6.5 million Tibetans who are Chinese citizens? Let us not forget these exiled Tibetans have never been to Tibet, nor were they born there - how then can they have the rights to free Tibet or claim Tibet as their home? Can overseas Chinese born outside China have the rights to free China from communism?

Tibet belongs to Tibetan. Thanks Al Jazeera. Please go to Tibet. There is no freedom. Tsundu la thumbs up

LOL, all these outsiders try to redefine the history of China. Did you get the approval from the Mongols and Manchus before you deny their Chinese nationality? LOL

Maybe you should have dug a bit deeper. Missionaries and explorers who visited Tibet under the DL described Tibet as an "open sewer." Life expectancy under the DL was 33 years and the people were not allowed to own land, the entire population were squatters. The DL never built a bridge, road, rail, hospital, or school. The DL left Tibet after being invited to a ballet by the Chinese governor. If you research the US State Department archives on their website, you will learn the DL and the CIA have a long relationship that includes a sizable contribution annually to the DL for being a "China irritant." Graduate level history courses at MIT also document the DL and CIA relationship being known to be a concern for China because the DL was facilitating the passage of Russian intelligence documents through Tibet for the CIA and Russia was financing Mao's army. There is an interesting transcript of a conversation in which Nixon, Kissinger, and Ford are discussing the wisdon of issuing the DL a visa to visit the US since he might disclose the relationship. The State Department website has a search engine you should check it out. BTW: My wife was born in Lhasa and because there were no medical facilities in Tibet under the DL, they had to move to Chengdu China, when her mother became gravely ill in Tibet. (Remember, there were no roads in Tibet) Under the Chinese, life expectancy for Tibetans has risen to 55 years and infrastructure has been established. 55 years isn't too bad since the lowest place in Tibet is 13,000 feet elevation and oxygen depravation takes a toll. Free Hawaii!

Economic development by exploiting the area and its people and claiming that we have done good for the area but what you have actually done is helped themselves by keeping the natives under colonisation is hypocritical.

The Indian Tibetan guy has bit by bit lost his mind. He just went hysterical.

Free Tibet and East Turkistan.

Independence for Alaska, Guam amd many other American states. You conquered these countries. American you want independent Tibet, you must give independence for these states.

It is gone. Tibet and Uyghur don't seem to know history. Native central Miao people, southwest Yi and southeast Zhuang lost their homes to China.

Nearly 90% of China's drinking water comes from Tibet. There is no way they would let go of that so easily.

Control Tibet mean control Asia water so China is not gonna give up that anytime soon.

When will Catalonia have a homeland of their own? Turkish Kurds? Scots? Welsh? Corsica? Sardinia? Bavaria? Basque? When will Shiites in Eastern Province of Saudi Arabia have their own homeland? When will northeastern provinces of India get their independence?

I wish the Tibetans could get their homeland back. But unfortunately once a country/territory has been annexed and incorporated into a country that is a super power (as China now is) the odds of it becoming independent barring some cataclysmic event are very very slim. You may as well advocate for Hawaii's independence. The US likewise invaded and annexed Hawaii which was an internationally recognized inspection country. Tibet isn't going to be separated from China anymore than Hawaii is going to be separated from the US.

Well spoken ! T.T LA and the professor did fantastic in support of truth!

It would have been much better if the guests were given few minutes each to tell the way ahead regarding the Tibet issue... It is missing in many discussions... if included it makes the discussion complete...

Will hope that the Tibetans gain their freedom in near future and make strong and powerful relationship with India .

True journalism ✍️👌👍

Thank you Andrew for you knowledge and insight on Tibet .

Al Jazeera is so decent

Our land, (Tibet)😢

中国无论由什么政党管理无关他民不民主有无有人权 但是中国人民是决对不会允许分裂任何一个领土 这是13亿中国人民的心声 无关喜不喜欢共产党 无关这领土是怎么来的 你要分裂他就要有决心与13亿中国人为敌 这是来自一名中国人的心声论

The speech of every oppressive group in history is to say that they were shocked by the conditions and the behavior of the locals and that their good intention was only to liberate them.

Finally a new media doing its Justice of speaking the truth of the truth for the truth.Thank you Aljazeera.

Return India Occupied South Tibet i.e Arunachal Pradesh, to Tibetan Exiles! Let South Tibet gain independence from India! I SUPPORT TRUTH AND TRUTH IS TIBET BELONGS TO TIBETAN NOT PUNJABIS !

Yes I agree, democracy gives freedom of the mind. It sets the wheel in motion for innovation that is pliable/moldable and not "aplastic".

Can British have their own Islam-free country? Check with Tommy Robinson and let him speak freely in his own motherland.

Unfortunately the answer is a big NO!

Free Tibet ❤️❤️❤️

Tibetan in Tibet, China are enjoying every right and development 👍

If the Manchus were a foreign force and occupiers with the same analogy Britishers occupied northen frontier & Arunachal pradesh which subsequently became a part of Indian subcontinent, these areas are always disputed & it is all a power game.

there are 6.3 m tibetan people live in tibet or nearby provences, and 0.2 m outside of China. So yes, the majority is living in their homeland

Yes Tibet was independent country in history, but Central and local government had signed "17 agreements"for peaceful liberation of Tibet in 1950s, today Tibet is a part of China which recognized by all countries in the world and UN organizations. Can Christians ask for independent or freedom of Constantinople from Turkey today ?

Middle way approach is the solution to Tibetan issue. His holiness Dalai Lama's vision is transparent. Tibet was independent but willing to remain under china for genuine autonomy. Freedom of religion and freedom of speech.

I believe Tibetan must grow together with the Chinese supporting their GDP with same currency.Tibet although produce natural gas in fact are far more beyond reach to other countries plus East Asia n Russia too has such resources.Being secluded so long in the past until Chinese, British n India became involved with them with not much to offer vise versa other than colonialism,I guess maybe it's this way in the past.If Tibet independent could show sign of fast pace to catch up 1st world, I doubt their currency could stay strong for long even with various countries aids and investments.

Today Tibet is integral part of China wether it was a independent or not a independent country in history.

What ever! Try challenge our military, you will get DF-41 as a gift.

Fun fact Tibet never spoke Chinese in the beginning

sure can，South Tibet is now their homeland of their own but was forcely occupied by the Indian and claimed by India based on their British colonial master, Mcmohan Line. In fact, Mcmohan is not an Indian but a British.

Like this conversation more more and more. Also other news show 👍👍👍👍👍👍👍
