The basic problem is that the Chinese are not free.

More specifically.


"China is multicultural and multiethnic."    Agree.

" The minorities have more rights than the Hans."

Since all Chinese are denied basic human rights, this is a quibble.

 "For example they can have more children. (Average Tibetan family have
4-5 
kids and that contribute to unemployment.)"

The idea that there are only a fixed number of jobs and that more children

means more unemployment is very, very silly.

"They get preferential entry to colleges and universities and pay lower 
tuition fees." My understanding is that the local elementary and secondary

schools are so terrible, that even with admission preferences they are
still 
under-represented in universities.

Anyway, none of this justifies the denial of human rights.
