What Is China Really Doing In Tibet? (

- Tibet. I've always wanted to go there and explore. Nowadays the only thing you ever hear about the place is how China runs it. What was life like there now, in 2023? How has Tibetan society changed?
To visit Tibet as a foreigner, you need a permit and a group tour. It's not easy to go around exploring on your own. But I made it my mission to find some time to sneak off and talk to the real people of Tibet.

Hope you enjoyed the brief tour of Tibet. I think I have one more video from China and that's a wrap -- see you in the next one.
Look forward to the next one Tommy 🏴
Thanks for these videos. Keep em coming
Hi Tommy, does Yabba-Dabba Do, come from Tabet?
What's the next destination?
I guess it will be Xinjiang
I think some comments can explain why foreigners should be restricted from entering Tibet. There are too few ordinary tourists like Tommy, and too many people like those comments try to provoke political conflicts.
- -
I didn't expect this comment to receive so much attention, so I want to say a few more words.
My college roommate was a Tibetan from Lhasa. I learned about the terrorist attacks in Tibet in 2008 from him, which was far worse than what I saw on TV. Since then, the government has restricted foreigners from entering Tibet in order to stop terrorist infiltration.
However, as you can see, foreigners like Tommy can still travel in Tibet. Although I can feel that his political views are not consistent with those of the Chinese government (to some extent, even the opposite), he treats all people equally and friendly. He does not aggressively "preach", trying to impose his views on others, or inciting others to hurt others.
I think such foreign travelers will be welcomed throughout China, at least I really like Tommy. Although I may not agree with some of his political tendencies, I can feel his friendliness and kindness, which is enough.
Everyone has their own political views, and there is no need to force consensus. The most important thing is harmony and friendliness.
When the grim reality of a group of oppressed people become labelled as “provoking political conflict” and the Western superpowers and totalitarian CCP government are complicit- that is when fearless change makers needs to rise up- similar to the Tiananmen Square demonstrators. We will last longer than the CCP and that is a promise.
@@sunmatralready using the term Xizang as ur ccp boss has directed you to .
“Provoke Political conflicts” it’s literally an occupied country with it’s culture being erased. People are upset for a reason.
No. They are keyboard warriors. Most of them are cowards in real life. They don't have the balls to stir up trouble. There are also plenty of travelers like Tommy, I meet them all the time and there should never be an excuse to restrict access to a country.
@@Droghba I don't think you know the difference between Xizang'西藏' and Tibet'吐蕃'.
如果有更多像您这样的Vlogger，我相信不同国家的人之间可以更容易消除误解和隔阂，非常感谢！
If there are more Vloggers like you, I believe that misunderstandings and barriers between people from different countries can be more easily eliminated. Thank you very much!
As a Chinese, I really appreciate Sabbatical's video. It's real and immersed. It doesn't praise or criticize deliberately, just feels and shares.
Hi, I watched your video in five minutes and noticed some misunderstandings. ”民族路” should not be translated as ethnicity road, it means similar to national road. Also in China ethnicity doesn’t have similar inference as in American context. In China ethnicity is a positive word, there is a song in China called “56 ethnicities” and almost everyone knows it. It is not your fault but those are the roots as why cultural misunderstanding is so significant.
As someone who works in publishing in China, I assure you you won't get very far trying to translate 民族 as 'nation' or 'national'. The government is highly sensitive to the idea that there are nations within the nation of China.
@@8964TSjust translate to Minzu Lu should be fine.
@justinschubert1903, I guess you are the dude to ask, is the mobile game "clash of clans" really translated as "racial conflict" in Chinese or is that just a bad google translation??
@@damiandossantos5077 It's bad google translation. In Chinese the game is called 部落冲突, where 部落 means tribes or clans, and 冲突 means conflict.
@@vqshr Ahh okay I see, thank you very much for the insight.. Much appreciated ✌
Chinese and China is more than my expectation! Nice people decent and helpful. I have Great Honor for them . Thank you for the tour.
Not Chinese, they were Tibetans, original residents, Chinese just occupied Tibet since 1959
Can you explain to me the ethnic composition of Tibet (just the region which regime under the people's republic of China)? I'm curious because your comment makes me feel like you know a lot about this:) @@tsetendorgya2840
@@tsetendorgya2840most people in tibet are Han chinese and tibetans are also chinese

To understand China, one must also need to understand the US led western anti-China movement … for example “Congress Proposes $500 Million for Negative News Coverage of China
The effort to counter China’s ‘malign influence’ would fund negative coverage of China’s Belt and Road Initiative-while also beefing up the U.S.’s international lending.”. There have been other “kinetic”approaches adopted by this movement such as the physical interference and violence took place in the past in Hong Kong, Xinjiang, and Tibet. Give the chinese government a break to protect its racial harmony and peaceful existence!
Your statement may well include real facts but how you spin them sounds a little too close to being PRC propaganda for my comfort.
@@user-hr2df5lj9x In short, facts make people uncomfortable. And that's part of the reason why your Media had been lying to you.
@@user-hr2df5lj9x And Western mainstream media is believalble? Its propaganda thatj ust aliigns with your views and hence the confirmation bias on ur side.

For me this was a short but unique and rare looksee into the real Tibet in the current era. I applaud your friendly and honest approach towards everyone. Your dauntless efforts are greatly appreciated. Thank you !

Thanks Tommy. Seems like I haven't seen a video from you in a while. Now there are a few available. As always you provide great entertainment. I find your videos actually uplifting.

No, it's not.
@@peekaboopeekaboo1165of the three, Bhutan probably has the best living standards.
Since it's quiet and peaceful, please don't disturb them!
Maybe restricting more tourists is the best way.
Because many foreigners don't know the local customs, just like many people don't know the direction in which the "转经筒" rotates.
@@peekaboopeekaboo1165 For your conclusion, I can only say that you have never been to these two places.
Brother you made me cry from tears of joy . I like how you captured everything without saying much .
Thank you for your video .. I have few work colleague and this video made me good understandings
Great to revisit Tibet with you in this video. Thank you. My last time was 20 years ago. Things have changed, physically and many things are unchanged. May all beings be happy.
I’m a chinese, i’m glad to see your video .I’ve been to some places of tibet but not lhasa, I hope all the people over the world can feel the beaty of tibet, to see how people live in tibet.
Here is a funny thing from my college about Tibetan.
A tibetan student quietly and slowly tells to his roommate at the first day:" it costs a yak for one year college tuition（at least 20,000 yuan), and I need to study hard"
The han student feels sorry for his family's lost, and wants to treat him to dinner because he thinks a yak must very important and expensive to his family.
During the dinner, the han student suddenly asks: How many yaks do you have?
The tibetan student think a while: About
150
the han student slaps the table：you treat next time！！
Haha... that is funny! So he is from a multi-millionaire family, even just counting the yaks...
Haha, this is how Intrinsic impressions and poor information works！
At least he didn't lie..thats good. But how many of them have 150 yaks.?
At least he didn't lie..thats good. But how many of them have 150 yaks.?
@@tenzingjimbabhutia6264 Tibet's per capita GDP is more than four times that of India, exceeding US$8,000, but Tibet's geographical location is ten times worse than India's. Tibet’s per capita transfer income from the central government is close to US$10,000
This was great. Your frustration is understandable, yet you handled your visit well. Thanks for giving us the tour.
Thanks for sharing I really enjoy your video, nice people of Tibe and building culture...
8:21 What a sweet interaction🥰. This is what traveling is all about out for me, having these small interactions are typically what stays in my mind for many years.
Greetings from Western Australia. I'm going to Shanghai next year and then I'm taking the train to Tibet. I can't wait to go. I love your vids. Stay safe.
Smart move, I think that is the better route to visit Tibet freely, first visiting the main western chinese cities, and go to Tibet from there.
@@peekaboopeekaboo1165 Of course, they don't have the structure to monitor each single tourist 24/7.. they only have checkpoints throughout the main parts of the region. And he was not alone, but accompanying his tour group, he just made a minor detour from them, no big deal. You can't visit Tibet like you can visit Paris and walk wherever you want alone by 90 days without any goverment NPC bothering you.
That’s quite a video u made there .I was just cruising though the CZcams videos and your video got my attention . Really liked the way you presented ❤ simple yet a strong and brave one
Love your disposition. Appreciate ya!!!
Thanks for uploading and sharing us this wonderful video. I love Tibet
TASHI delek . Such a beautiful video. Thanks you so much .
我在西藏待了超過18年，如果你跟我一樣經歷過2008年的暴亂。你就會明白爲什麽需要限制某些人進入西藏。
當年的事情，太恐怖了。
Especially Westerners, including the Japanese, who like to subvert the regime of other countries and engage in color revolutions or peaceful evolution in other countries, must be more vigilant! 🙄
The only person that can read this that is reading these comments is Tommy.
Lol 🤣 but more than likely true.
Would give anything if I was half that intelligent. People like Tommy are people that I would want to hang around because the intelligent people of the world know that whatever you want to be in life the best way to pursue that is to surround yourself with people that are either already in that profession or people that are striving for the same exact thing, AKA like-minded people.

There are so many vloggers on china... but i somehow enjoyed your laid back nature. The way you present the whole experience is very impressive actually, moreover the way you respond to the locals is very sweet and positive. Thanks a lot...!
Check “Little Chinese everywhere” she also create good vlogs
thank you brother made me feel like I'm in Tibet! hope you get more chances to explore our beautiful Tibet
What a phenomenal series. Thank you so much for you taking us on your journey. As an American, I feel grateful to have you as an Ambassador to all the wonderful people you come across. Safe travels.
1st thing to do as a human and as an American is give the land back to the native Americans. Please go back to where you immigrated from.
Very nice video. I enjoyed it. See you again and take care.
Thanks for making this video. My wife is tibetan and she really enjoyed seeing you explore.
Ah, perfect timing for my weekly youtube session! Love your videos. I used to travel for several years myself, and your videos inspire me to do it again some day.
whats your session look like ? id love to have more informative videos and channels like this to watch.

@@AmitKumar-fx2kyIndia was not actually the name of a country before the British colonized it, and the South Asian subcontinent had never been truly unified in its thousands of years of civilized history. In other words, before the British came to the South Asian subcontinent, India was just a geographical term, not the name of a country.

Absolutely cool! Thanks for sharing the simplicity of your travels... greetings from Palm Springs, CA.
Amazing vlog, great interactions with people and genuine. I've just discovered your channel and been watching the TIbet episodes. I've never actually watched a vlog on CZcams from TIbet, only TV documentaries or Michael Palin's series (he also visited Tashi Lhunpo Monastery), so it's very refreshing to see. I'm also amazed by your language abilities. That's the kind of content I was looking for. Cheers from Poland!
I'm really enjoying these Tibet vlogs, this place looks so unique and awesome, I want to visit someday
Really interesting stuff. Great segment. Nice people. Great religion. Keep up the good will and travels. Thanks.
Darn I wish there was more footage from Tibet!!! You have become my go to travel blogger!!!

hm what I wrote was for Tibetans not for all of the China videos. I mean they were friendly too, but as soon as he said meigyu ren they went 100% racist fucks. So nah its not the Chinese government. Its Tibetan culture and the right amount of buddhism.@@blardymunggas6884
it’s the same across all of rural china 👍
Who is open? The people on the bus are still being careful with what they say, be very weary of all the things people say in public, no one can truly 'speak out'
@@adamproctor9315 Speak out what? Political nonsense like 'Sleepy Joe out, Maga Trump back'?😆
Love the video Tommy. This series is great
I appreciate you make this such wonderful video on Tibet it’s really nice to see the beautiful people and unique culture of Tibet thank you 🙏
I've been to Tibet, there are lots of very nice and frendly people. Thank you for your video!
So sad your tour is almost over, love every second of it. Your minimal (often nonverbal) critique of places is very diplomatic and keeps the videos entertaining. You let the natives and pictures speak for themselves. It also gives your "rambling" more meaning (like the tibetan rivers) that, hopefully, people take a closer look.

Hey Tommy,
My name is Noah. I'm from the south east. I have been watching you for a while now. One of the first videos I watched you in you were in the slums in Africa out on the water I forget which episode it was. It was a good episode it showed your character and I really like how your attitude is and how comfortable you are around anybody I look up to that because that's the way that I am and there are very few people that are real like this you are one of the only people that I can say I truly believe without a doubt in my heart that you have no racist bone or thought in your body AKA mind. You love everybody! You want to explore the world and explore different cultures and beat you people and learn new things and have new experiences and explore your spiritual side and you are not for no religion, you see the world in a similar way as I do and I'm sure there are others like me who filled the same or a similar way. Anyway you have my full respect sir love your videos love what you do you're doing what I would give anything in the world to do but I am not even half as intelligent as you. year quickness to learn a new language is mind-boggling in my personal opinion. There's no way my mind could just learn a new language as quick as you do and then you keep it it seems like and it's so easy for you to figure out what someone is saying even if you don't really know that language. Kudos to you my friend. 👍
Thanks Noah
Incredible content brother
i really appreciate your videos about China. THANK YOU SO MUCH.
I really enjoyed your videos cause you showed us many different location of Tibet. I am from Tibet and I have been in Newyork in recently and it was amazing too. So you are from Newyork and you have seen other wonderful view of Tibet landscape.

It's easy if you don't give a f.
@@musical_lolu4811 there are websites and channels dedicated to exposing all the crazy stuff, getting an unbiased view on the actual people instead of the system can be refreshing:)
The unique feeling you mentioned in the video is an unfortunate life for the locals. The primitive houses had poor living sanitation and few people leds to poor economic. Lack of education and obsession with religion lead to had no capacity of earning money. You may prefer to go back 50 years ago to see a more ‘unique’ living environment, but no one among the locals wants to go back 50 years ago.
Quite a unique video! I like it.
