no, china is never going to free tibet. Tibet has already been under china for centuries now and frankly i dont think it can survive well as a independent nation. JUst think about it, wat resources does it have?? However they might come to some type of understanding. After all that' wat tibet really wants. the current chinese govt is just too arrogant to give it. The issue might be settled soon but i dont see it happening under this govt.
But frankly i do hope that the tibet conflict continues. i know it sounds terrible and i am really sorry for all the tibetian friends. but looking at nepal's interest , its for our good. why do you think china doesnt treat us as badly as our other neighbour India. Just look at china's relation with other neighbouring countries and then look at their relationship with us. As long as nepal continues to supress the tibetian protest here, it simply wont touch us. it's a kind of mutual unspoken truce between nepal n china.
