Almost all answers flat out wrong
Prior to Tibet being invaded, (which I do not support) Tibet was a dictatorship under a religious monarchy.
Tibet and China have historical ties. Leadership in China wanted it back, even the last Emperor had plans to take it back.
China has invited the Dali Lama back, as long as he stops his demand for independence.
China recently completed passenger rail service to Tibet and is encouraging the Chinese people to visit. Westerners can, but must be with a tour group.
The Tibet economy is improving, so is the peoples standard of living.
The Tibet people have more say in their lives and government then anytime in their history.
One poster said that the Dali Lama has sold millions of books. The Dali Lama is supposed to be a man of limited needs. Where is the money going? How much is going for education of the people about Tibet? What is his lifestyle like? His private life? He has a vested interest to keep up the China bashing. I'm not saying the Dali Lama isn't what he says he is, but one needs to look at the above questions and seek pragmatic answers.
The other thing I find ironic and a contradiction, is the Dali Lama met with Bush and many people consider Bush, because of the two invasions of sovereign countries, as bad as China was when it invaded Tibet. I think that meeting is going to end up haunting the Dali Lama.
Why is China upset? Because China believes Tibet is part of China and the west is telling China what to do. China is sick of the west throwing its weight around. Plus, China has made a pledge to the world and its people it will not invade a SOVEREIGN COUNTRY, and also believes in a countries right to self determination. The USA has made no such pledge (obviously).
Why are so many here condemning China when we should be looking at our own backyard and fixing that first before we comment and condemn others?
Peace

I am in China right now studying. People here are told that Tibet was "peacefully liberated" when really its citizens were brutally slaughtered. The Dalai Lama had to escape Tibet so he wouldn't be killed. Because the communist party believes in there being only one China, they dislike Tibet and Taiwan saying that they should be liberated. In my opinion, it could be because the government is afraid that the Dalai Lama could be a figure that would inspire people to fight for freedom. By the U.S. recognizing him like that, it is giving him more power, rather than acknowledging that Tibet is part of China. . To add insult to injury, the U.S. did this during the one every five years meeting of the CCP.
But, that is just my opinion and what I can speculate from being an American citizen living in China.

China thinks and expect all others to think that Tibet is a part of China. They think and ask us to think that Dalai Lama is a traitor. They think and expect all others to think that communism as a state policy can cross all national borders making communist ideological expansionism , needed for the happiness of humans. Freedom ? Freedom according to Chinese ,does not feed people.

The Dali Lama is but not the Chinese. We shouldn't worry much about the Chinese. If we stop buying from them, they'll go down the Yangtze river fast.

you call "anti-China" guerrillas, others call them the liberty combatants. diverse attitude you call them violent, others see the chinese language invasion of the Tibet much greater violent and brutal. Like between the above poster calling the chinese language entering Tibet "freeing" the Tibetans from slavery, if somebody else is supplied in to shop baby labors from chinese language sweatshops they might call them "freeing" from the Communist regime.

Because he left Tibet rather than engage in a war with them... and that made them look like the big jerks they are.
Now he lives in India and his particular "tibetan" form of Buddhism sells millions of books world-wide and everyone loves him.
China actually hates Buddhism... the government has a hard time controlling the people when they are familiar with "spiritual truths".

considering that they tried to put Tibet off the map you can well understand the reaction the award would bring if you were part of the chinese government

Yes. And the Chinese government doesn't stand for peace and virtue.They stand for corruption, brutal force, infanticide, and mind control.
