Pushed Them Too Far

The Tibetan Monks are pacifists. But even pacifists have limits beyond which you cannot push them. They're revolting against communist China because they have been pushed too far. The Dahli Llama is threatening to quit if they don't stop. That's because he hasn't been PERSONALLY pushed too far because he fled before it could happen. China's main crime? (Besides murder, torture, and imprisonment for speaking out, that is) seems to be "making Tibet into modern-day China" while keeping the Tibetans out of it. (Open Democracy)
