Western companies shouldn't be helping prop up communist regimes like the Chinese government. Every time one of them bows to a communist demand we all lose. Let's start telling them to free Tibet too.

Uhm, before pointing fingers at Tibet, how about you free Hawaii first? Occupying the land with military force and replacing the local population with settlers from the main land, sounds a lot like Tibet and Hawaii in my ears.

Probably they followed the English model of brutal suppression of the natives. That still doesn’t preclude the Chinese need to be booted out of Tibet. If you don’t agree with American policy then you’re welcome to boycott USA products and services, starting with Apple.

Nah, I don’t boycott. I just think some people should not point fingers thinking they are better than others.
 
I think it’s sad and cruel how China treats Tibet and its people. But it’s naive to think that they would give Tibet up and release it into independence. There is no way China would let any other country interfere with its politics. They feel strong now. They were treated badly by western powers and Japan for 200 years. They had to give up land for western colonies for 100 years and are so proud they got it back. They don’t want to be weak ever again. You need to step back to see the big picture why something is the way it is.
