The Indian media had reported that the Indian government has, in these documents, acknowledged Tibetan Autonomous Region as a part of the People's Republic of China.

The Chinese spokesman said credit has to be given to Vajpayee and his Chinese counterpart Wen Jiabao for whatever is in the formulation on Tibet.

India has admitted that TAR is an 'inalienable' part of China, he added.

Aye, that is a shame.

All I can hope is that as China matures into a modern nation she, like many matured countries before her, shall realise that harbouring an empire against the empire's will is a) immoral and b) not always in the best interest of the motherland.

Next China is going to push for control over Taiwan, more control over Mongolia... and then what... I hope democracy slaps China hard across the face before imperialism causes another disaster!
