What’s really interesting is the perspective regular Chinese have on how to develop Tibet.

There’s a great article from The Atlantic, where they interviewed Chinese teachers and social workers that chose to go to Tibet [1].

One comment that stood out was this: “First, I will use my friendship to help [the Tibetans]. But if they refuse my friendship, I will use war to develop them, like the Americans did with the Indians."
