What is temperature like in tibetan plateau?
Although Tibet may be visited easily year-round, Dec-Feb remain the off season due to cold, dry weather.
Basically, the Tibetan climate is not as harsh as many people imagine it to be. The best time of year to be in Tibet is from April to the beginning of November, after which temperatures start to plummet.
The central Tibet, including Lhasa, Gyantse, Shigatse and Tsedang, generally has very mild weather from April to November, though July and August can be rainy - these two months usually see around half of Tibet's annual rainfall.
October and November often bring some dazzling clear weather and daytime temperatures can be quite comfortable at Tibet's lower altitude.
The coldest months are from December to February. The low altitude valleys of Tibet (around Lhasa, Shigatse and Tsedang) see very little snow.
Spring does not really get under way until April, though March can have warm sunny days and is not necessarily a bad month to be in Tibet. More specific information in different areas:
Lhasa: Lhasa is suitable for visiting all year around due to the comparatively lower altitude and warm weather. If you are adapted to the chilliness, try to come here in winter for the cheap cost of transportation.
The border of Nepal/China: The Friendship highway is basically in good conditions year around. But from December to February, the thawed road could make some trouble Besides, try to avoid August - landslide could happen in the rainy season.
Mt. Everest Region: Early May and early October are the best time to visit Mt. Everest. Due to the clear weather, you have great chance to see Mt. Everest's true face. From December to February, it's too cold to go to this region. But the magnetism of Mt. Everest always attracts people anytime of the year.
Ali (Mt.Kailash): Even without climate restrictions, this area is already inhospitable. Big rain and snow could make the journey worse. However, for those determined tourists, the appropriate time is May, June, July, September and October.
Eastern Tibet: Don't touch this area in July or August, the rain could ruin the road, and make terrible landslides. While in winter, the road could be frozen.
Northern Tibet: With the average altitude of 4,500m, this area offers very limited time for tourists. Summer is the prime time to enjoy the great plain in northern Tibet.

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 is Tibet a stateless nation?
Tibet is considered a stateless nation because it is an ethnic and cultural region with a distinct identity that lacks sovereign statehood. Historically, Tibet operated as an independent entity with its own governance and cultural practices until it was incorporated into the People's Republic of China in 1950. Since then, Tibetans have sought greater autonomy and recognition of their rights, but they do not have an independent state to represent their national identity. The ongoing struggle for self-determination and preservation of their culture highlights Tibet's status as a stateless nation.
