#3 Perhaps the Tibets are realizing that they've been checked by Chinese rail lines and attempts to bring Chinese up into Tibet, and if they don't do something demographic trends will basically eliminate them.

#5 Can't live up there? Nonsense. There is nothing magical about the air that people can't aclimate too. That is why the Chinese built/are building a rail connection. To move a large population up there.

#7 I think that a new word is needed, combining the concepts of genocide with gradualism. Using "slow force" to displace a people from their land, taking their resources, denying them commerce, while giving advantages to the invading peoples, until they so outnumber the locals that the locals can be marginalized into extinction.

While going on for a while in Tibet, the Chinese are also carrying this out in other minority regions, such as among the Uyghur in western China.

This has happened a lot in history, but is almost never thought of as a genocide, though it accomplishes the same goals.

The use of force in such situations is always measured, but not based on the level of resistance, but on the advancement of the program.

Oddly enough, this is common throughout the world, most often used as an effort to "Islamicize" a place via immigration.

Reference #7:

London's Heathrow Airport. I was just there yesterday. Without the signage, you'd never know where you were.
