Yes, we can disagree on the treatment of Tibet. But I swear some people here (and I only say some) are using this thread as an opportunity to bash Chinese culture and Chinese way of life in general.
Thats exactly how I feel

The treatment of Tibet is sad, but I think people have taken this as some sort of an opportunity to bash the Chinese society as a whole. The funny thing is I heard very similar (note: not the same) stories about American treatment to Cubans when I visited a non-tourest town of Cuba last year. And their leverage over Tibet is very similar to the treatment of Cambodia in the 1970s from the education history I have come to learn about in my time in Phnom Penh, Cambodia, 3 months ago.
