Crisis in Tibet


Recently there have been major protests in the province of Tibet. These protests have been on-going for a long time now because the people of Tibet are tired of decades of Chinese rule. There have been over 100 deaths of Tibetans under the hands of the Chinese government, a shameful fact. While the Chinese government proves correct when stating that no government would just sit and watch these massive violent protests against its people be performed, they refuse to understand that their response to the protests is a violation of human rights. In my opinion, China should just realize that eventually the people of Tibet will find a way to gain back their independence, as it is a known fact that communist troops invaded the province in the 1950s; furthermore, even though this is out of topic, it is only a matter of time until Taiwan does the same, since they too refuse to be under Chinese rule even though they have an agreement with China. All these problems are only a few that the Chinese government must deal with on a daily basis, and although it might seem sad, we must realize that China constantly violates human rights, especially of those who seem to steer away from approving of Chinese rule.
