How do you invade yourself ?...... With futility.
Tibet was invaded by so many, in Feudal times. Today nationalist and separatist viewpoints grapple for attention in the press. One credible leader, the Dali Lama, stated: "I have no intention of using any agreement on autonomy as a stepping stone to Tibetan independence" It seems clear that he accepts Tibet as part of China and I take the Nobel Laureate at his word.
Freedom for Tibetans, not propaganda & re education, is the giant leap of faith that China must take. Creating a least common denominator of sameness will not generate the vitality all Chinese must have to overcome their collective challenges.
Ahhhh...... Freedom starts with The Press
-Open the door to journalists
-Public scrutiny is good for the soul
-All politicians hate being exposed, some even make corrections.
-Quoting Mark Twain, "An honest man in politics shines more there than he would elsewhere."

Freedom
“The secret of happiness is freedom. The secret of freedom is courage.”
Thucydides ~450bc
"None who have always been free can understand the terrible fascinating power of the hope of freedom to those who are not free."
Pearl S. Buck
" Living requires us to step off the edge of the worldeach day, daring to greet the sun. Life is a leap of faith."
Flavia Weedn
"The greater the cunning with which people are ruled, the stranger the things which occur in the land. The harder the rules and regulations, the greater the number of those who will steal.
The sage therefore does not contrive... but teaches the people peace of mind, in order that they might enjoy their lives."
Tao Te Ching
"The only maxim of a free government ought to be to trust no man living with power to endanger the public liberty."
John Adams
"For every man who lives without freedom, the rest of us must face the guilt."
Lillian Hellman
