Why do china and Tibet hate each other?
Tibet currently isnt a seperate country, it is part of China. the reasons the Tibetan people hate the Chinese government are pretty legitimate and straight forward. During Mao's rule, Tibet was invaded and taken over by Chinese rule. the Chinese claim they had the right to the land all along, as tibet was really just part of China. The Tibetans ,lol, strongly disagree that this was the case, as Tibet had everything it needed to be its own government before China took over including its own government and flag. China doesnt like how the Tibetans are so religious and are incredibly loyal to the Dali Lama, as this weakens their authority as a government. To deal with this threat, China has persecuted the Tibetans by confining them to forever stay in Tibet ( if you were a Tibetan farmer for example, you could never get a job in outside of Tibet and might be killed for leaving). CHina has many other ways it has persecuted the Tibetans, including exiling their religious leader to India, but the long and short of it is Tibetans want to be Tibetans, China wants them to be Chinese and the Tibetans are such a culturally salient group that they don't want to stop and are fighting for their freedom. most of this fighting is in the form of protests by Tibetans setting themselves on fire. However, the Dali Lama has told the Buddhist people of Tibet to stop seeking freedom from china, so much of the protesting has stopped.
How many Tibetans are in exile?
There are approximately 150,000 Tibetans living in exile around the world, primarily in India, Nepal, and Bhutan. This exile community is a result of the Dalai Lama and many Tibetans fleeing Tibet following the Chinese occupation in 1950.

Who was involved in the Mao Ze-Dong genocide of Tibet?
It is widely acknowledged, even by China, that Tibetans possess a distinct cultural identity. To most of the people genocide in Tibet by China is disgusting. It is to me. Today there is still genocide going on in Tibet. Thousands of monks and other Tibetans are being held captive and tortured. Also millions of Chinese are moving into Tibet, making the Tibetans a minority in their own country. In 1950, one year after Mao Zedong took control of China, Chinese forces invaded Tibet. The Cultural Revolution in China started soon after millions across China and Tibet were killed. Mao Zedong like Hitler and Stalin was an extremist Darwinian and the Survival of the Fittest was incorporated in those atheist governments.
