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.
