The Tibetan people are being attacked culturally and socially. They don't have a problem paying the taxes, they just don't want to lose their identity to the Chinese.

I think that the Chinese stubborn refusal to negotiate with the terrorist Dalai Lama has dug them into a hole. A hole that to get out, they would have to admit that they were wrong, and governments hate that. The Chinese can only try to play this as the law and order, which is understandable, but they can't really spin this effectively. It's disgusting how this is allowed to go on, but it's 'Made in China'.
Unfortunately, the pissing contest in that section of the world is somewhat older than communism. Much, much, much older than communism, Mao, or anything like that. The Chinese have been at odds with the Tibetans in some shape or form since the 800s A.D.

As an additional note, there is also no such thing as "Han" or "Hui" because China is extremely complex in terms of ethnicity. Han is just a generic description of Chinese that don't know what they are, and Hui is just a Chinese Muslim.
