¡@ ¡@ "Tibet", was merely an administration issue being part of the duties of fellow Tibetans.  If Mao Ze-dong had stayed alive for another ten years, basing on his "overt plot" political trickery, he probably would have notified the American and the British:

¡@ ¡@ "I am leaving from Tibet",

¡@ ¡@ "I am "too tired" in administering Tibet, you "help" me do it!"

¡@ ¡@ It was absolutely possible for Mao to withdraw the army, call back the Dalai Lama, toss Tibet to him and allow him autonomy.

¡@ ¡@ "Give it a try"!

¡@ ¡@ A highly difficult case is that, the farm slaves of the forties and the fifties, who are now the "masters", might not be willing to tread the retrogressing path.

¡@ ¡@ Finding living means in such a snowy territory is extremely difficult, and feeding the few millions of Tibetans is no easy task.

¡@ ¡@ It is a fact that the Han people each year subsidize billions of dollars to build and support Tibet.

¡@ ¡@ After the Dalai Lama fled to India in the fifties, if Mao Ze-dong in the sixties and seventies or Deng Xiao-ping in the eighties were really to "respectfully return" Tibet to its rightful owner, the Dalai Lama and his Ge-xia regime would also find it quite difficult to well-keep Tibet.

¡@ ¡@ After the fifties, on the return of the Dalai Lama, what would those with "vested interest" and who were administering Tibet think? What would they then "do"?
