tbh being invaded by the Chinese was the best thing that's happened to Tibet for the last five hundred years. Sure, you get shot for dissenting, that sucks, but compared to the "enlightened" rule of the Dalai Lama and the Tibetan nobles, the Chinese are great. They actually let the peasants own stuff and get educated, unlike the horrendously repressive theocracy that the Chinese freed the Tibetans from that everyone thinks is awesome because us Westerners never quite got over all that hippy [cabbage] the Beatles started feeding us.
