What Is China Really Doing In Tibet? (

Tibet. I've always wanted to go there and explore. Nowadays the only thing you ever hear about the place is how China runs it. What was life like there now, in 2023? How has Tibetan society changed?
To visit Tibet as a foreigner, you need a permit and a group tour. It's not easy to go around exploring on your own. But I made it my mission to find some time to sneak off and talk to the real people of Tibet.

    I think some comments can explain why foreigners should be restricted from entering Tibet. There are too few ordinary tourists like Tommy, and too many people like those comments try to provoke political conflicts. - - I didn't expect this comment to receive so much attention, so I want to say a few more words. My college roommate was a Tibetan from Lhasa. I learned about the terrorist attacks in Tibet in 2008 from him, which was far worse than what I saw on TV. Since then, the government has restricted foreigners from entering Tibet in order to stop terrorist infiltration. However, as you can see, foreigners like Tommy can still travel in Tibet. Although I can feel that his political views are not consistent with those of the Chinese government (to some extent, even the opposite), he treats all people equally and friendly. He does not aggressively "preach", trying to impose his views on others, or inciting others to hurt others. I think such foreign travelers will be welcomed throughout China, at least I really like Tommy. Although I may not agree with some of his political tendencies, I can feel his friendliness and kindness, which is enough. Everyone has their own political views, and there is no need to force consensus. The most important thing is harmony and friendliness.

    When the grim reality of a group of oppressed people become labelled as “provoking political conflict” and the Western superpowers and totalitarian CCP government are complicit- that is when fearless change makers needs to rise up- similar to the Tiananmen Square demonstrators. We will last longer than the CCP and that is a promise.

    Hi, I watched your video in five minutes and noticed some misunderstandings. ”民族路” should not be translated as ethnicity road, it means similar to national road. Also in China ethnicity doesn’t have similar inference as in American context. In China ethnicity is a positive word, there is a song in China called “56 ethnicities” and almost everyone knows it. It is not your fault but those are the roots as why cultural misunderstanding is so significant.

    Hey Tommy, My name is Noah. I'm from the south east. I have been watching you for a while now. One of the first videos I watched you in you were in the slums in Africa out on the water I forget which episode it was. It was a good episode it showed your character and I really like how your attitude is and how comfortable you are around anybody I look up to that because that's the way that I am and there are very few people that are real like this you are one of the only people that I can say I truly believe without a doubt in my heart that you have no racist bone or thought in your body AKA mind. You love everybody! You want to explore the world and explore different cultures and beat you people and learn new things and have new experiences and explore your spiritual side and you are not for no religion, you see the world in a similar way as I do and I'm sure there are others like me who filled the same or a similar way. Anyway you have my full respect sir love your videos love what you do you're doing what I would give anything in the world to do but I am not even half as intelligent as you. year quickness to learn a new language is mind-boggling in my personal opinion. There's no way my mind could just learn a new language as quick as you do and then you keep it it seems like and it's so easy for you to figure out what someone is saying even if you don't really know that language.

You let the natives and pictures speak for themselves. It also gives your "rambling" more meaning (like the tibetan rivers) that, hopefully, people take a closer look.

    Thank you for the tour. Enjoyed it. Younger generation in most places of the world do lose touch a bit, and a bit of their parents' tradition, as I have also not been practising some of my culture. When I was young living in a close-knit extended family, tradition and rituals during festivals were strictly followed and performed. I guess with development and modernisation, extended family becoming smaller unit, rituals become formality and less strictly followed. I do hope Tibetans do not lose their traditions and cultures. Influences from outside - I was and am probably influenced by the American and British culture through watching a lot of TV series in the 70's - 90's - make me think that is the modern way. Traditions and ritual are old fashion. Of course, now I am old, I regret that I have lost my culture and my identity. Though I do not practise my tradition, I take comfort in knowing about my culture and traditions.

    我的家里的表哥当年去川藏那边的阿坝州还是哪里当兵,在2008-2010年这个时间段吧,退伍回来后说那里当时有很多的暴乱事件,可能前一天和你关系很好的牧民伯伯两个人一起抽烟,第2天就和其它藏民一起暴乱,问了是为什么,说是当年有宗教冲突达赖还是啥的一个人在西藏境内去世了,藏民帮助外国势力拿回尸体(我很不理解),还有就是很容易受到境外势力通过宗教的蛊惑,他们自己都不知道暴乱了有什么后果以及他们自己暴乱的诉求是什么。。。。很多藏民受教育水品非常低7岁小孩子就知道抽烟那种的,很容易被煽动起来;我表哥那个时候吓都要吓死了,经常穿着防护服(我也不知道叫什么)随时待命阻止暴动,当时他的一个战友赶上了暴动,被藏民直接用藏刀砍伤(手骨断裂);但是同时那里的人非常非常善良淳朴,我表哥退伍前去和战友爬雪山纪念,不小心把小饰品掉在了路上,藏民伯伯跟在他们后面怕了将近海拔1000米就为了把 饰品带给他们。。。

    现代化不健全的社会是这样的。其实大部分闹事的就是普通贫民,除了吃饭没有其他政治诉求,和内地农民暴乱的性质不大。 但让新疆以及西藏贫民暴乱产生特殊性的正是少数有组织的、有明确意识形态目的的人,他们巴不得事情闹得越大越好,这样政府开枪打死的人越多,他们获得的权威就越多,尽管这些权威是靠煽动种族残杀换来的。如果西藏的现代化不足以把大多数藏人都卷进去的话,这些分离分子还会继续煽动贫民暴乱。如果将来西藏社会能被更好地整合进中国的发达工业社会,大部分西藏人能过上富足的生活,那么“独立运动”只会像苏格兰、加拿大西部省份那样嘴上说说,实际并不会主动分离。

    I’m a chinese, i’m glad to see your video .I’ve been to some places of tibet but not lhasa, I hope all the people over the world can feel the beaty of tibet, to see how people live in tibet. Here is a funny thing from my college about Tibetan. A tibetan student quietly and slowly tells to his roommate at the first day:" it costs a yak for one year college tuition(at least 20,000 yuan), and I need to study hard" The han student feels sorry for his family's lost, and wants to treat him to dinner because he thinks a yak must very important and expensive to his family. During the dinner, the han student suddenly asks: How many yaks do you have? The tibetan student think a while: About 150 the han student slaps the table:you treat next time!!

    The unique feeling you mentioned in the video is an unfortunate life for the locals. The primitive houses had poor living sanitation and few people leds to poor economic. Lack of education and obsession with religion lead to had no capacity of earning money. You may prefer to go back 50 years ago to see a more ‘unique’ living environment, but no one among the locals wants to go back 50 years ago.
