    In 1950 China invaded a small part of Tibet. The Tibetans fought back then but came second.
    In 1951, representatives of Tibetan authority participated in negotiations in Beijing with Chinese government. It resulted in a Seventeen Point Agreement which affirmed China's sovereignty over Tibet. The agreement was ratified in Lhasa (the capital of Tibet) a few months later. How much choice they had in signing that agreement I'm not sure. After that the Chinese did improve the Tibetan infrastructure ... roads, schools hospitals etc however religious and political freedom suffered.

    I think a lot of the protestors out there today believe than China simply invaded out of the blue and took over the whole country. Wasn't quite that cut and dried.

    So Saddam Hussein couldn't invade Turkey because like Little Miss Muffett, he had Kurds in his Whey?

    We should immediately declare war on China. That should put the shits up them.

    Aww shucks. I'd like to claim it as original but I may have heard it somewhere else a few years ago. Can't be sure now.

    We've already got them surrounded in Afghanistan, Iraq and the Solomons and they still haven't surrendered.
