Do you know what is the Chinese perspective in the Tibet conflict? We are going to talk about.
Sometimes you get like, why China is reacting like that? This are the possibly answers:
The Chinese government believes Tibet is from them, for three valid reasons...
- First, the government believes its rights to Tibetan territory to be left over from the Thirteenth Century, when China and Tibet were both incorporated into Kublai Khan's empire. China thinks that Tibet was never legally broken away from China, and that China is bigger to Tibet so it become absorbed by China.
- Second, the Chinese government has a tradition of being Imperialistic. In 1950's when the conflict between China and Tibet began, the Chinese government justified its actions by saying that it was helping the Tibetans. The government believed , and still believes today, that the Tibetans need Chinese help to maintain a successful society and to prevent Buddhism, a religion to which the Chinese government is violently opposed.
- Finally, China is heavily overpopulated and has many social problems because of the overpopulation. So the society could greatly benefit from more land (Tibet), and the goverment saw taking over Tibet as a possible way of gaining land and making life more comfortable for the Chinese people.
*In my opinion, China is using the reason that Tibetean territory cames from them since Kublai Khan's empire to get some positive aspects as more land to take away directly the overpopulation.
