The endless debate...

When people refuse to face truth, all sides can keep arguing endlessly
and there will be no result.

I think the truth regarding Tibet is as follows:
(1) CCP did free the slaves in Tibet when it first came to Tibet
(2) Mao did turn the Tibetans, together with the people in other
provinces of China, into slaves again for a new slave owner named Mao.
(3) CCP is now called Chinese Capitalist Party and is doing a
wonderful job in lifting many Tibetans out of poverty and turning them
into petty bourgeois.

While the Tibet independence activists refuse to admit (1) and (3),
the nationalist Chinese students refuse to admit (2), and the West
refuses to admit (3).

So what is the point of debate?  Might as well call it adjourned.

Lunch time!
