The Tibetan landlords, elites and those who they could force to work under them had little problem killing Chinese troops. The general populace had little to do with the resistance movement and many were even sympathetic to the Communists (partly thanks to organized groups of Communists proselytizing directly to Tibetan serfs and slaves). CIA involvement, by the way, doesn't improve your case that these resisters represent average Tibetans, since I can't think of a single case where the CIA have supported popular movements.I think it it worth mentioning that the Tibetans had little problem with killing the Chinese troops during the invasion of their homeland. There is also some evidence of CIA involvement in Tibet (giving weapons and training to Tibetan resistance groups) which you can take as you will. Before you hit the link I would like to say that this is pertaining to Tibetan Buddhism and not all of the Buddhist world. This is a perfect picture of the desperation they felt and continue to feel in what China has done and continues to do. This is not propaganda and I think the video (albiet on Youtube) is good and informative for anyone who wants to understand the past. This has a lot to do with the present situation.
Doing some research on the Buddhist priesthood. Need help.
