Early Tibet, Early to Rise
Chinese warned on 'eight don't asks' when dealing with foreigners (AP)--O.K. to ask:
1) “Is your mother Tibetan?”
2) “Is your mother the Dalai Lama?”
3) “Have you ever sent your clothes to be cleaned at a Tibetan laundry?”
4) “Do you think that Richard Gere is more handsome than the Dalai Lama?”
5) “Were you a Tibetan in a past life? No? Welcome to the Olympics!”
6) “Don’t you think the air in the Himalayas is more polluted than the air in Beijing? Good answer.”
7) “We Chinese love Tibetans. Don’t you?”
8) “How many Tibetan monks does it take to screw in a light-bulb? Ten. Nine to meditate. One to ask a Chinese.”

China and Tibet
In my opinion, I believe the Tibetans have the right to an autonomy and they have a right to practice their religion. Even if I am not a religious person. You must not be surprised that China is not a democracy. It's a Communist dictatorship and our politicians in the West fear to stand up to China because they know it will affect trade and their personal interests.
