Tibet as a land and people should be made a first class citizen of the physical and political world as well. I am not sure why the Free Tibet movement died out in America and Europe, but less than 75 years ago, China forcibly and illegally took over Tibet and since then has been engaged in a forced reeducation and erasure of the people and their culture (Sinicization):

This is one of the great injustices of the world, and unfortunately the Tibetan leader (the real Dalai Lama) had to flee and live in exile in India.
