China should not free Tibet.

Oh, I'm sorry... for not posting an opening debate. (: I'm new to this online debate thing.. sorry if i broke a rule or something........ Anyway, let's have fun in this debate. (: Over the years, there has been a lot of controversy around the subject of Tibet and China. Most articles, etc. describe China as the Commie human-rights violator. They blame China for everything from the destruction of the Amazon to global warming. Environmentalists constantly speak about the huge number of CO2 and other gases released while human-rights activists prod and poke chinese officials to lift the one-child rule. Well, let's see what happens. China lifts the one-child rule thats been there for over than a decade, and because of China's vast population and crumbling soil, many die. Thus, China gets blamed for that as well. Then all these people are born, using up more resources, more oil, and more things that pollute our world. Then they get blamed for that. I actually have many friends who live in China, and have visited China many times. Everything is fine there. My friends don't complain or whine, they know the governments doing what's best for them and the country. Okay, maybe sometimes, officials so something drastic or what would be viewed as us Americans as immoral or unacceptable, but you got to give them some space. Nobody's perfect, and with constant pressure from media and organizations to change their ways, it makes perfection even more unlikelier. Something many people don't understand is that life in China is different from life in America. They have SO MANY people, and without the one-child rule, their population would increase even further. Sadly, some people don't get that, and think that people should be able to have 5, even 10 kids and have 8 of them die from starvation or unclean circumstances. Down the entire Mississippi River is a region of great, fertile soil. Look at China. There are maybe a few spots in the entire country that are as fertile as the region around the Mississippi. What the previous example has to do with this topic is the following: I think people don't really understand China, and every little thing they do offends some person or organization and it gets on the paper. Just as I wrote before, if China pleases one type of person, another is going to get mad and so on. So let's see about Tibet. Ever since the announcement of the 2008 Summer Olympics being held at Beijing, China, people have been frenzying about Tibet and its relations with China. Well, like the example above says, lets see what happens if China does free Tibet. 1) Tibet has little to none natural resources, and right now, every single province in China is donating money to help Tibet. 2) What about tourism? Well, of you count the percentage of Chinese people in the entirety of all the worlds' population, you shall find it is a lot. So if tourism is virtually the only thing that will keep Tibet alive if China does free it, and I can almost guarantee Tibet will lose most or all of the tourists. What can we conclude from this? We can conclude that even if Tibet is freed, it will be worse off and China will be blamed. Again. For freeing Tibet. What about their culture? Well, not to be completely rude or anything, but isn't living a good and healthy life more important then preserving your culture? I know culture is very important to a whole bunch of people, but does that bring you food? Shelther? Clothing? I'm pretty sure it doesn't, but I can tell you one thing; living with it and being fine with it is a whole lot better then trying to revoke against China and causing more chaos around the globe. In Janurary 2007, the Dalai Lama had told a private television channel that he wanted Tibetians not to think in terms of history, but to accept Tibet as a part of China. Thanks again for accepting. Look foward to hearing back:D.
