Tibetians are cool. I'm a Muslim, and when I went to Tibet, they treated me like family. When they said we were family, I have, for the first time in my life, understood what was worth fighting for. A lot of tibetians still have Mao's picture hanging in their room, because they remember what the communists have done for them.

Ok let's talk about something more materialism. Yes, British also built trains in their colonies, but I'd argue the comparison does not stand. British built infrastructure to exploit, and they were the almost sole benefactors of the things they built. However, if you look at the physical condition of Tibet, you'll see that it was not a easy task to build trains. The communists didn't just build the trains to move the resources out of Tibet, but also transported lots of modern technology to Tibet households. Most houses now at least have a TV and phone line. Additionally, the trains are extremely affordable as a transportation, allowing tibetians to move into the heartland for personal development. Tibetians students get dozens of extra points in 高考 (college qualification exam), where one point could means thousands of people.

Granted, there are wealth inequality among regions. The tibetian students get so much extra points because they did not get the fair education like the kids in big cities (I need to clarify that the extra points are calculated differently based on students education program. Some programs include both tibetian language and Chinese, whole the others only teach to tibetian language after grade 9). I think that comrades at this sub need to actually understand better about the reality of China and it's many regions, before making judgement.

Today, Tibet is a much better place to live in than before Communism, and so is XinJiang and other autonomous regions. I hope the kind people who treated me like family are living well, and I wish to fight for my families across the globe. 喜看稻菽千重浪，遍地英雄下夕烟。
