They were content in the way that people who know nothing else adapt to their circumstances. Since the communist take over their literacy rate has improved and they have educattion and health care under communism , which is of course worse than any free nation but still an improvement. These reforms and changes come at the price of communist enslavement.The people of Tibet wete quite content with the Dali Lama and would reject chinese rule and welcome him back if they couldThe lama theocracy was pretty brutal and despotic. But communism under the chinese is far worse.If left undisturbed Tibet would be more or less a theocracyToppling a corrupt theology and replacing it with an evil communist regime is not a beneficial trade.China got away with invading Tibet
That was long ago and world anger has faded
You mean they toppled a corrupt theocracy that held most of the people of Tibet in bondage? Oh, Gosh, that's horrible.
Ditto for Tiananmen Square
How is what happened at Tiananmen Square any different from what happened at Kent State?
More recently the illegal erasure of civil rights in Hong Kong and genocide of the Uighers
The Uighers are Muslim terrorists. As for Hong Kong, Hong Kong was set up by the British after the Opium Wars to exploit China's economy.
What you see as "Aggression", they see as asserting their national sovereignty. You should probably immerse yourself in Chinese history, particularly the period between the Opium Wars and the Civil War that brought the Communists to power.
The CCP are very cunning and calculating
They have discovered the western democracies weakness - money and fear of military conflict
Up to now they have known just how far they can push and get away with it
But china has grown too strong and it is becoming reckless
Asserting sovereignty within their own borders is "reckless"? Really?
Some people might not approve of that
But the Dali Lama is a popular leader with the consent of the people
He does not an army to rule
This issue always arises when communists takeover a nation. The excuse is the old regime was weak and corrupt and it is often very true. But that is no justification for replacing it with communism which is uniuversally evil and worse than what they replace.
The Romanovs, Batiasta , Diem etc etc. All corrupt brutal regimes and all replaced by something far worse.
Itys very unlikely they would welcome back the lama class but of course China will not allow them to express how much it sucks under their rule either.
