Tibet could not survive without China

I have been volunteering in Tibet and Yunnan Province for 2 years now as a doctor to many Lama and travelling monks. I'm British. Its a shame that the middle class and racist Taiwanese or US funded media does not remember the simple fact that Tibet would not have the economic potential to maintain the infrastructure. Anti communist writers often say that China has destroyed Tibet. Incorrect. Despite what China did 50 years ago (which was appalling) one should remember that all the reparations, maintanance of ancient buildings, transport and reforms are all thanks to head governments in Beijing and would not be possible if it were not for the Heritage funds that the CCP installs into Tibet.
