TIBET: Why does CHINA want to KEEP IT so BADLY? - VisualPolitik EN

- Tibet is the poorest region in China. For centuries, they had a political system based on a kind of feudalism mixed with a Buddhist theocracy where the Dalai Lama was the religious and political leader. But all of that changed in 1950, with the Chinese invasion led by Mao Zedong. Since then, Tibetans have suffered constant human rights violations and marginalization from the Chinese Communist Party.
But you already know this. Few causes have gained more political support worldwide than “Free Tibet”. The current Dalai Lama, Tenzin Gyatso, was awarded a Nobel Peace Prize and Hollywood stars like Richard Gere have been very vocal supporting the independence of Tibet from China. Meanwhile, Beijing is not willing to give up on this. They have turned Tibet into a symbol. And all of this is surprising given that this region has a very small population and has been virtually isolated from the rest of the world for centuries.
Why does China care so much about this? And why does the rest of the world care so much about it too? In this video, we will answer all of these questions.

water + natural border. the end
🙄🙄🙄
Pure strategic same reason they want Xinjiang, Belt and Road Initiative. That's why they want to get rid of the Uyghur people. There's a great video explaining the situation with the Chinese concentration camps: czcams.com/video/GPLjmNK_-YM/video.html Ethnic cleansing?
Why did the video say no natural resources within the first minute of video lol?!?
china used qing claims to reconquer tibet, so it is rightfully china's
China is claimed every thing except coronavirus
With Tibet, China can literally thirst half the planet. That is more powerful than having gold or oil.
For the time being, yes. But it isn't like this hasn't occurred to the Indians, nor is there a lack of initiatives that will slowly diminish the need to rely on those waters in question. It's just we clearly aren't there YET.
Not so much. Yes they can hold back the waters, but how long can any man-made dam hold the waters of such mighty rivers.
The problem of Asia is that there’s too much water in a place but too little in another. China can’t even hold the flows by their biggest dam systems in the world.
You act like China can somehow use this to hold the world hostage, they can get concessions yes, but to push it too far would provoke military action. And for now that's what china wants to avoid
@@AeneasGemini Right, military action against a nuclear power. Fat chance.
And you can reroute the water before it forms those rivers, a process China is already active in.
Just make the water flow toward china instead of India.
Kids, thinking isn't that hard.
i am a Tibetan, i am proud of my Tibet. Your " it has absolutely nothing" doesn't change fact about Tibet. i know my country how rich it is. "Tibet is the poorest region of china" just want to make clear that all the damn mineral and resources are being transported from tibet to China. you guys will never know who only based on Chinese information. if you really want to know about Tibet ask a Tibetan not a Chinese...
China is trying to modernize the Tibetan region. Modern plumbing in homes, for example. Isn't that a good thing? A lot of money is poured in to modernize Tibet.

This guy knows nothing. Tibet has so many minerals
keep watching
Yeah I agree ☝️
Then make your Own videos 👍
Distorted video and video presentation. China ruled Tibet from the Qing Dynasty (just search the map of the Qing Dynasty), the Republic of China inherited it and then the People's Republic of China inherited it. In fact the Dalai recognized Chinese rule and the reason for the conflict was that the Chinese government wanted to overthrow the Tibetan slavery system, hence the feudalism written in the introduction, slavery to be precise, and the emancipation of a large number of slaves (just search for Tibetan serfs). The Dalai lost his rights and that's why he opposed the rule.
@@loveear5370 Totally agree. 90% Tibetan are happy now. They live in prosperity and peace. I have been there three times. Will go back more after the pandemic
One word: Water
China controls tibet because all of the water that flows to india, pakistan Bangladesh and south china sea nations. Because of this, it can bully its downstream nations because of this as it can build dams along the rivers which restricts the water flow. This can cause serious droughts downstream if china decides that a nation has crossed it. They can also cause extreme flooding by releasing the water.
The area also has a large amount of natural resources that are rare earth metals including gold, platinum, etc.
If china also looses this area, china looses its leverage against india, the second biggest threat to china after the USA due to its huge man pool and rapidly growing economy.
In the future their will undoubtedly be a war between india and china if china refuses to act as a responsible country that shares water resources with downstream nations. This is an unavoidable war if China continues on its path. The war will be bloody, but china will likely loose due to the number of countries in support of china being low, but the number of countries against it being high. Pakistan will likely not get involved as it does not want another war with india and knows that it will suffer if it sides with china.
A neutral Tibet is the best option
India is also the same country like china bullying its neighbour bangladesh,bhutan,srilanka,nepal etc.
Your juvenile analysis indicates that you may be an ill informed teenager, go back to school as soon as lockdown ends.
The way china acts its seems like china want control to its neighbor's resources so that it can control the country Im guessing its reason why china want to control the entire south china sea because of resources so that they can control Asia countries. It's no wonder so many Asian countries don't like china.
Noah Bowie same with Kashmir and Jerusalem, but we know that will never happen. For Pakistan its too valuable to give up due to water. For inida kashmir provides a direct route to punjab and the administrative region. For china, the region has resources and allows them to have a stronger grip on india.
Jerusalem i can only see it having one way out. It being declared the capital of both israel and Palestine, but also as an independent country, but administrative regions being set up in tel aviv and somewhere in Palestine. The area is governed by 200 members elected by Palestine and Israel in a 100/100 split. The goal is to maintain all structures of religious significance both for christian, Israeli, muslim and other religions. The military is banned, but protection is provided by the UN with peace keepers. All citizens have nationalities of Israeli or Palestinian as well as Jerusalem. Laws are provided by the 200 person council and if prejudice occurs then the UN has to step in. Thats the only way i can see peace in that region. Neither wants the other to control it, and so neither should control it especially with one side having leverage over the other.
This reminds me of the movie RANGO.
" Control the water, and you control everything"
Same thing happened in Tank Girl.
THATS IS THE CCP'S line!
Control the food and you control the people
This is Quiet accurate control the water tower of asia
Isn't that a quote from The Tuxedo , a Jackie Chan movie?
Jackie knew all along what the CCP is brewing..

@CT Yong You don't even try, just a misery net troll, how dumber you are.
Try making a video of Tibetan politics in Tibet. Then you will see the reality whether you can shoot a political history of Tibet under China.
you can't film Tibet, so film Nipel market and tell people that is Tibet, wow，真不要碧莲
Do you expect this anti-Chinese video to have any objectivity LOL
Tibet was part of China since the Qing Dynasty, the empire protected Tibet from wars around, im not saying what the Chinese gvmt did was right, but Tibet has been part of China since 1713. And China didn`t just destroy Tibetan monasteries, it was an era where all churches/temples were destroyed all over China to promote science over paraphysics, its not like China was purposely targeting Tibet.

I appreciate that you came up with a video on Tibet.
I am telling this to you as Tibetan that some of these information you shared are incorrect. You could have avoided these misinformation if you have spent a little more time for your research. Because this very crucial because thousands of people will watch your video and misleading has serious consequences.
So, I would like to correct few of them:
1) some of the footages you have shared are not from Tibet, I can tell you footage 2:08 is from Nepal not from Tibet. Second footage 2:16 is from Ladhak not from Tibet. (Prove me wrong if I am wrong)
2) 3:05 you have mentioned Tibet population 3 million it's wrong we claim 6 million you can check any valid documents for this.
3) His Holiness Dalai Lama isn't the political leader of Tibetan Government in Exile (Now we call it Central Tibetan Administration) he gave his political leadership to democratically elected leader current President Dr. Lobsang Sangay.
4) You mentioned in the video that 0:46 Tibet doesn't have Oil and Gold may be you are right but there are number of other natural resources like Water Major rivers are originated from Tibet. And in fact Tibet is know as water tower of Asia.
I am humbled and grateful that you choose this topic and made an attempt to bring this issue forward. But also I must tell you there are lot many books on it written by Tibetans and tibetologists for better information rather only using news articles which are subjected to misinformation.
Regard,
Ugen

Ten years ago, Chinese people were very poor. At that time, I had a classmate from university. He was a Tibetan. The tuition fee in China was very small. At that time, it was almost 4500 yuan a year. He told me that his family sold two cows to pay for his college tuition. I sympathized with him at that time. Until I went to his house and saw more than 100 cattle, I felt more sympathy for myself. I have learned a truth, people should sympathize with themselves, because you are always sadder in the eyes of others.
@Zidon Wangyal No, the word "slave" is just a definition, you can't even directly show the specific affairs, can only be used in a functional conversation here, China's political activities in Tibet has been a long time, the Chinese government commitment, is also achieved. But you can talk about and imagine, never materialized. Like a religious extremism
@Salvador Tubigan yes，it is yours，you are scaring me，you are the boss, you have the final say. you have power, you have weapons.
@Zidon Wangyal lol
You didn't talk about Panchen Lama, he is second to Dalai Lama, he's the guy who finds or confirms or introduces the new reincarnated Dalai Lama when the current Dalai Lama dies and vice versa.
The CCP kidnapped the current Panchen Lama in the 90s and installed a han chinese in his place. Their plan was, when the current Dalai Lama dies they will just get the Panchen Lama (the one they installed) to find a new Dalai Lama and you can see where this is going.
But the current Dalai Lama threw a curve ball by saying that he will not reincarnate in Tibet and will reincarnate in a western country. This must have really infuriated the Chinese. 😂😂😂
Politics is one thing but kidnapping a 6 year old child for political reasons in just disgraceful. Panchen Lama was 6 years old when he was kidnapped. The Chinese have kept him undisclosed since 1995 or so they say.
He has forgotten to mention some critical facts of which the most important, that India gave asylum to the Dalai Lama and due to this India even had to fight a war with China in 1962 which resulted in India losing acres of land in the disputed Jammu & Kashmir region, which resulted in China being a third party having control over parts of the disputed Jammu & Kashmir region. And it was not the Dalai Lama alone, there was also a sizeable number of his followers who came along with the Dalai Lama seeking asylum. Even though the Tibetan culture is not being followed in China, it is strictly being followed in India under the Dalai Lama and hence India is helping them preserve their culture. The Indian government has even allocated acres of Land to the Tibetan Buddhist community across various states and they are living as refugees in India.
There are also rumours that the next Lama the Tibetan Leader, will not be from China, instead he could very well be chosen from India (although I agree with your comment that he could also be a westerner), outside of Tibet.
@@Oberoy248 if that is the case what would the native Tibetans say on this etc? let alone other buddhists etc. especially if said child that shows up was not even buddhist to begin with?
Very sad and cruel are the actions of China.
Who care? Religion has no place in China, you can believe whatever the stupid lama say, people in Tibet now don't even know who the hell he is, they already moved on with CCP!
@@shihouneon I feel pity for you, seems the firewall that CCP had put on the internet had firewalled your common sense too, your love towards your own country have no rights of what so ever to undermine the love of others for their own country.

lol i love how little you know and how much you pretend to know. China fought India because Indian troops kept pushing northwards. China crushed indian troops and then actually RETREATED without taking any land. IN FACT, after the victory they made a bigger buffer zone between China and India by back up further. You need to learn some real history.
'sizeable number of his followers'', meaning less than 0.01%? since 99% of the Tibetans were happy they finally were freed from Ayatollah Dalai's torture and enslavement. So who followed Dalai and CIA to India? the thousand slave owners and top theocratic yellow hats elites?
India has been suppressing and literally raping people on their north border for being a different race and much better looking. These ppl rather join china now to have a better life than having chronic indian diarrhea.
Dalai Lama the little boy tongue sucker? 😂

Eh...I'm sure Tibet is not Nepal, your video showed alot of Nepalese cities and scenery. Tibetan tours are actually quite popular among CZcamsrs and there are plenty of Tibetan videos you can ask from if you want to add to your video. It's akin to showing a tour of Toronto and describing it as a US city. Also, Tibetans are allowed to travel to other cities to study and work. The length of highways and railways (including a high speed rail) connecting Tibet to other parts of China exceeds 100k km and there are 5 international airports in Tibet. I doubt Tibet will ever be independent just like how I don't think Catalonia will ever be independent from Spain.
A true Canadian citizen here. Toronto IS for all accounts a city of the US. Canada BELONGS to the US, it is a colonized country first by the British, then by the US, except that it has a different government and a different currency. That's the unfortunate truth.
Yes, tibet is too reliant on china to be independent. I doubt US or india will help tibet economy after indepence.
@@user-gc1hg9sp9k As were told in the video, it is the source of river that matters. US and India lack the ability to built dam over Tibet but threaten destroy it to limited the supplies of water to China, India, Vietnam, Cambodia and Thailand.

All the Dalai were all must be canonized by the central government even back in the 1700s
In fact, that has always been the way since Kublai khan, Ming, then Qing
Thank you...just to reiterate some important point.
1. Tibetan Autonomous Region (TAR) is not Tibet!
2. Dalai Lama wants genuine Autonomy to Tibet not TAR.
3. Dalai Lama is only religious and spiritual leader of Tibet not political leader of Tibet.
4. Eastern regions of Tibet weren't included in the TAR such AMDO! Where current 14th Dalai Lama was born!
@John Smith Mao let the Imperial Chinese Army do the fighting while he hid only coming out after the Japanese were defeated to attack the weakened Imperial Government.

Mao’s Cultural Revolution not only destroyed monasteries in Tibet but also monasteries, cultural and historical sites of other part of China, one of disaster caused by CCP after the Great Leap Forward.
In Qing Dynasty, Amban and military forces was sent to not only Tibet but also Mongolia Qinghai and Xinjiang. They are kind of like princely states in British Raj. So it is not true to say that they only sent tribute.
Brother, thank u for making this video and educating the masses about Tibet. But, there are few informations which are incorrect such as Tibetan Population which is 6 million n not 2.5 and few pictures are actually from Nepal and not Tibet. And Tibet is known as the water tower in the world as it provides significant fresh water supplies to most of the Asian countries and has lots of lithium, copper, gold and silver reserves.

Very interesting video. States usually want to hold on to territory for 7 reasons: emotion, history, people, economics, strategic reasons, fear of further secession, pride. Every case of countries trying to keep territory can he explained by one or more of these reasons. And the answer here: Strategic Reasons.
Exactly! It's the same thing in Xinjiang. That's why they want to get rid of the Uyghur people, for their Belt & Road initiative. There's a great video explaining the situation with the Chinese concentration camps: czcams.com/video/GPLjmNK_-YM/video.html Ethnic cleansing?
Simba Martens Thanks a lot! I’ll definitely take a look at it.
And people is another reason.
@@JamesKerLindsay No problem!
"strategic reasons" just sounds like a catch-all term that reveals nothing. So does 'economics'. So that list being just 7 items long seems rather artificial, since the only reason it stops at that is cos you've lumped a bunch of things together. In this case, the reason is in order to control the source of myriad rivers, as well as mineral resources. It's also a great buffer region. That's 3 distinct reasons. Lumping them together hides more than it reveals. And do the former two (the third is more obvious) fall under 'strategic reasons', or 'economics'? And why can't it fall under both? Etc. Why not just drop the opaque categorization and speak of the reasons themselves?

Was I the only person that found out today that monk Gyatso from “avatar the last Airbender” was named after the Dalai Lama?
Better late than never.
And Tenzin (Aang' younger son).
And if pay attention there a few more parallels.
The Tibetan nomads.
A culture wiped out by an industrial enemy.
And if we stretch a bit: Tibet is the source of water (life) for many in the continent. Lives (use too) isolated and peacefully.
Air nomads/monks could kill with a simple move from their wrist (Zahir, legend of korra), choose to be peaceful, in touch with the spirits, respect all life.

Standard Tibetan is a widely spoken form of the Tibetic languages that has many commonalities with the speech of Lhasa, an Ü-Tsang (Central Tibetan) dialect. For this reason, Standard Tibetan is often called Lhasa Tibetan. Tibetan is an official language of the Tibet Autonomous Region of the People's Republic of China.

China will always want Tibet as it is listed as their sovereign territory. Tibet became part of China when it was conquered by the Mongols and incorporated as part of the Yuan Dynasty in the 13th century and the central government has always have a governor in Lhasa to govern the province. At the beginning of the 20th century, the Qing Dynasty collapsed and the territory was ruled by the Dalai Lama who imposed a brutal slave society whereby most of the population were enslaved and almost all properties were owned by a small elite group of people. The Tibetan people suffered terribly until they were liberated when the central government re- exerted itself under the CPC. Today Tibet has seen much progress and the people have a bright future

The Dalai Lama served a dual roal as not just the political leader of Tibet, but also as the spiritual leader of Tibetan Buddhism. As a Buddhist monk, he was not able to advocate for violent resistance against the Chinese occupation at the time it happened, which arguably may have been the optimal response from the Tibetan people to preserve their freedom. This shows the value of separation of church and state. The Dalai Lama himself realized this several years ago, when he resigned from his role as the political leader of the Tibetan Government in Exile (aka Central Tibetan Administration) based in Dharamsala, northern India. He's still the religious leader of the Tibetan branch of Buddhism, but no longer is he also the political leader of the Tibetan government, such as it is.

One thing I wondering is, most of westerners love to see the split of China but don’t like to see their own.
The westerners don t want to see the split of china , they have a problem with the CCP , when you think about dictators that killed millions of people you probably think about Stalin or hitler , but the communist regime in china killed more people than these two combiend .
Isac Adascalitei prove it pls, show some true evidence then, I have lived in China more than 20 years, knowing ppl all over the Chinese land including HK Macau Taiwan Xinjiang and even Tibet, for the the years I live in China, I didn’t see any of my friends or ppl known has been killed or pulled to the bullshit re-election camp. Is I blind or the western media lied? I see those by my own eyes, what about you? By CNN or BBC probably?
Dalai Lama will return and Tibet will gain independence only if NATO takes action to oust the Communist Party.

Tibet has absolutely NOTHING to do with India. You have been smoking too much cannabis, or you know nothing about geography, or geopolitics or both.
Why China wants to keep it so badly? Because it’s their territory! I am sure England wants to keep Liverpool badly.
There are basically 2 things. 1) the Tibet people who needs help. However, China freed all the Tibet slaves in the 50's. That is why the former slave masters of Tibet were pissed and fled to India and they hate China. 2) Now that the US is using Tibet against China. So China definitely needs to keep Tibet for geopolitical reasons. Sorry for those Tibetans but they will become 100% Chinese in a few decades anyway.
They once have slaves so they deserve to be wiped off the map, bruh like wtf
secondly, there are still people fleeing tibet today. and I doubt they're escaping slaver owner or former slaves.

@@user-Void-Star Agree. Democracy and Unity. Two sides of one coin. I do believe China should welcome his holiness Dalai Lama back to Lhasa. It would benefit both Tibetans and Han people. But history turns out to be more tragic.
If we see human beings as rational creature with free will, for sure democracy could be a good choice. But even under democracy, not every citizen do their homework and make the rational choice. Sometimes democracy became a tyranny of majority. That's another topic.
For sure I am totally against dictatorship. Dictatorship is lacking the separation of powers and transparency of information. With such natures, dictatorship could only be successful when the dictator is omniscient and omnipotent. But human as a contingent creature could not reach these requirements. Therefore any dictatorship will fall in a long run.
China is too huge and complicated, each provinces developed differently. For sure certain advanced region could try democracy reform step by step. Hong Kong could be the first city have full democracy. But sadly tragic happened again.
One nation could have multiple countries. Germans have Germany, Austria, Switzerland and Lichtenstein. Taiwan could be the Switzerland in East Asia, a peace zone between China, Japan and US territory Guam. That's one possibility in the history.
History is open, and the choices are many. I pray there would not be another tragic happening between the Taiwan Strait.

Simon is looking different without his beard!😳 He is talking fast too.
I am Tibetan and I think the beginning of the video was a little weird but it evened itself out in accuracy towards the end very well. By the way, the only empires to ever conquer Tibet prior to Red China were the Mongolian Yuan empire and the Manchurian Qing empire. No Chinese power has ever, ever conquered Tibet prior to the unprovoked 1950 invasion by Mao Zedong. Typical Red Chinese logic is that since China and Tibet were both conquered by Mongolia or Manchuria, China therefore owns Tibet forever and it's culturally Chinese? It is the same mentality as saying that since Poland and East Germany were once occupied by Russia, Poland is therefore legally entitled to East Germany forever, or since France and Belgium were both occupied by Germany in WW2, Belgium is permanently a part of the French cultural motherland. There are countless other logical holes that are in Red Chinese arguments for occupying Tibet and justifying its cultural genocide.
Manchurian are considered Chinese... But I'm sure you don't care 😃
@@JR-vc4gm The Manchus fully Manchurianized Chinese culture during their several centuries of occupying China, so today most Chinese think that the Manchus are Chinese
