There is no doubt that Tibetans need more civil rights. At the same time, demanding for Tibet to be independent and demonizing the Chinese government are counterproductive. The main issue is that Chinese people don't believe that Western nations really care about human rights (see Iraq War) and are just making a stink to bring China down. Thus, Chinese people are very offended and alarmed when Western nations call for free Tibet. Western people should know that if Tibet really became independent, Chinese people around the world would protest and riot. These are relatively neutral article from the Wall Street Journal.
