Those slave owner fled to other countries and now lead the protests in other countries against China..calling for the “Freedom” of Tibet because they are upset they have lost their slave driving way of life and now have to actually work for a living. The people of Tibet are now happy and truly free from these slave drivers.

    The part of communist rules can be described better. There were a lot of farming slaves before the communist China entering Tibet. But China had a land revolution and free the slaves later, which made the slave owner very unhappy. So almost all the religional people from Tibet who claim they are depressed by the Chinese government were slave owners.

    You could have mentioned that Mongolia was the only country at the time that recognized Tibet as a sovereign state during the period when they were de facto independent from Republic of China. Without recognition or support from many states or major powers like USA or USSR prior to 1949, I think their ability to be independent and recognized on the world stage was doomed from the start. In an alternate history where Nationalists won the Chinese Civil War, Chiang would have done the same thing Mao did in our timeline as a follow up to the Sino-Tibetan conflict of 1930-1932.

      This video seem to say that Tibet was only brought back into China during the communist rule time. While Tibet did try to break away under British intervention, when the Qing dynasty collapsed in 1912, it never did achieve legal or political independence. The KMT Party who basically took over the rule of China after the Qing Dynasty until the Communist Party took over in 1959, never let go of Tibet, although the British tried to engineer Tibet's (a part of it actually) separation from China during the Simla Conference 1913.
      Hence, Tibet being part of China's territory had been continuous for hundreds of years. As is clear from the video, what the Dalai Lama did was an armed rebellion on the instigation of the US, and all countries have the right to put down an armed rebellion within their borders. It is also very clear that the rebels started the bloodshed.

    To attract more Patreon supporters, you should consider a perk that adds their names to the credits of the video itself. Currently the perk credits them in the description below the video, but I think this has a very different feel to it, at least it does to me. To be credited in the video itself would be to be truly immortalized in the very thing they are supporting. The description seems much less tangible: It could be lost if you move or repost your videos elsewhere, or if youtube does away with descriptions entirely like they have with so many other features. In short, it doesn't really feel like being immortalized at all. Just my thoughts.

      He was already in bed with the communists, so he really had no use for US arms and funding. Nothing noble about that. And when the communists kicked him out, he immediately got those fundings he rejected before. The Dalai Lama isn't a nice person, he's basically an opportunist who is or was friends with Nazis, fashist dictators and other scum of the earth.

      It was more like the Lama was ALLOWED to flee. Putting him in prison is like keeping the thorn in your flesh.
      The CCP certainly had no intention of making him a martyr by executing him. Then there is the problem of figuring out what to do with his body. Reminds me why Osama bin Ladin was killed on land and buried at sea. A single tooth or even a strand of hair could be used to make a shrine that could become a powerful symbol.

If it were, the U.S would not have a hand in toppling the democratically elected government of Mossadegh in Iran in 1953. Or the CIA's involvement in the murder of Patrice Lumumba, the then Prime Minister of the Democratic Republic of the Congo. In Iran, it was about the govt. wanting to nationalise all foreign oil companies. In the Congo, Lumumba wanted to have better ties with the former U.S.S.R.

    Great video! Though I'm not sure about the characterization of the revolts being mainly CIA orchestrated. Here is a passage from a socialist Tibet supporter. "In 1955, the government began land collectivization, forcing nomads to settle. Tibetans met this with major resistance: late that year, fighting spread across both regions, and a major rebellion erupted in Kham in early 1956. The Taiwanese government and the CIA gave some support to the uprising, but these outside forces in no way inspired the movement. The limited arms they delivered made no substantial difference. Nevertheless, American involvement no doubt contributed to China’s determination to strengthen its control over the region." - Charlie Hore
