So in this article,Hu yao bang, have issued a six point proposal
to tibet,which is remarkable, make tibet a real autonomous region,
the Number one leader in TAR is tibetan, the han ethnicity have

inject many money to tibet, when the people become more wealthy and
more educated, they support Dailai more, so in this article, they
are not asking for Autonomy, they asking for independence, this is
no way to be accepted by billion of Han chinese, even you make a
democratic poll, so some new appraoch should really be adopted
solving the religious problem in Tibet, and yes, tibet
issue becoming a bargainning chip for west.
