China can do the next best thing for Tibet by giving them that same voice... and if the Tibetans overwhelmingly vote China out then China should oblige.

Hang on, so you were saying Maori's welcomed their English overlords with open arms back 200 years ago? Or did they hold an election just before the English invasion on whether they should welcome the new overlords? Can Maori's kick all white descent people out of NZ today since well.. it is their land. Seriously this argument is fruitless and the illusion of this choice they have is a fallacy.
