Resolved: The PRC Should Grant Tibet Sovereignty

China giving Tibet sovereignty would be a policy of China's, therefore, one would need to look at the pros and cons of that policy and act accordingly in their best interest as a nation. Is having Tibet as theirs good for China? Yea, it is, and that is why they should not give Tibet sovereignty. Rather or not it negatively affects others is irrelevant to China, they're looking out for their best interest and giving Tibet up isn't in their best interest. My argument will remain the same based on those facts which you not only couldn't rebut but agree that its more beneficial for China not to surrender Tibet up. You called the United States + Hawaii a red herring, fine, whatever.. So is Nazi Germany and Poland, and it made no sense at all. "But my question is, is benefiting China a good thing?" Irrelevant to the topic of debate. Should China give Tibet up? Would it do China more harm then good? The answer to the last one is, yea it would. Therefore, no China should not give Tibet up. If the historic background is irrelevant then why did you bring it up? For clarifications for my additions to your argument, China ruled over Tibet for centuries with global recognition that Tibet is theirs. Those were my points regarding the historic side of this debate you brought up. China's invasion and annexation of Tibet in 1950 wasn't a problem, they were not violating no one's sovereignty, cause everyone agreed that Tibet had no such thing that it was China's. What was your point when you brought up the historic aspect of this? China, being considerably wealthier than Tibet and being that China made the investments they made to have those technological and medical advancements to be in their possession then used in Tibet is probably why life expectancy has increased.... China had to have done that, not Tibet... Considering that Tibet isn't all that interested in exploiting their resources and such, that there is absolutely no way that Tibet would be able to make the gains that China has been able to do in the time which it has been done. Its because of China's actions that allowed the amount of needed equipment and resources to get Tibets life expectancy up... The burden of proof is on you to prove that China should give Tibet sovereignty.. You've presented no real argument as to why China should give Tibet up. I see this has little significance but, Tibet has 7.5 million Tibetans in China, [1] over 3 million in Tibet... 90% of the people living in Tibet is Tibetan which rebuts your claim that China is flooding the area or riding the nation of them. [2] My arguments are the following. Having Tibet gives China great wealth cause they have great amounts of resources. Having Tibet gives them a great defensive natural border. its highly strategic to China. Losing Tibet can do more harm then good for China, one provine falls and chaos ensues like it always has. The Dalia Lama, the "beloved leader of Tibet". doesn't want Tibet to have sovereignty cause he agrees that its better off under China. He just wants the peoples' rights to be respected, that's it. Tibet is internationally recognized as apart of China... Since having Tibet does China more good than bad, they should NOT give Tibet sovereignty. [1] https://en.wikipedia.org...
