China never speaks to the world of exploitation of the riches of Tibet, such as gold, silver, copper, iron, aluminum, calcium, oil, precious stones, wool, timber, uranium and more. According to our calculations, as Beijing has spent on the development of Tibet is not even a small percentage of what was taken away. Above all, we should ask those who have received benefits from the development of the Tibetan region. The standard of living of the majority of the indigenous population has not improved, in many cases worsened. The percentage of literacy, employment, health and economic welfare of the Tibetan population is much lower than new immigrants, especially ethnic Han Chinese. The dramatic demographic change which has made Tibetans a tiny minority in their own land was made possible by the said economic development and infrastructure.
Nevertheless, I have great confidence for the future of Tibet. I only say that the G-20 summit leaders will discuss trade and economic rather than human rights and civil liberties. But overall, there is a huge upswing in attention to the issue of human rights in the world, and we are confident.
China is a communist country and who suffers most is the working class. Nowhere in the world are exploited as workers in China. A recent book by a Chinese economist has compared the wages and rights of Chinese workers with other countries. It 'showed that the Chinese workers are paid less than private wages, working hours with up to 12 hours daily for 7 days a week, without sanitation, unhealthy working environments. Only through this exploitation China can compete in the global market and this is known throughout the world. But few have the courage to raise the issue and request changes. The Chinese people are our brothers and sisters. At this time the population of China and Tibet that are united in seeking a solution to the problems of human rights and personal dignity.
