::I have told you what has happened to Tibet in history in short as above .thx to another kind of brain washing you got your pre-judgement and its bullshit from a "privileged Chinese citizen" from big brothers` system. Not qualified for your given title!- [[User:Mipplor|Mipplor]]
Drama detected! Chinese government should run plebiscite and ask locals about their willing to be under Chinese government. That's all. [[User:Siberian explorer|Siberian explorer]] 18:13, 12 December 2010 (CET):
: Come on, guys, are you serious? Can we just leave out historic or political debates here and stick to what's hitchhiking-related? We always kind of had a consent here to stick to the [http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Template:PRC_provinces_big_imagemap definitions from Wikipedia] or the UN instead of trying to find our own political view. According to Wikipedia, Tibet is not a special administrative region, but one of 5 autonomous regions of China. Either we list them all, or none of them. But as we don't list the regions for any country, I'd say, remove them. That's what I'll do now. --[[User:MrTweek|MrTweek]] 18:33, 12 December 2010 (CET)
::No, I don't think we can or should. China forbids us to hitchhike in Tibet. If [[Tibet]] is just a normal part of China, why would there be such a restriction? As to [[Hong Kong]] and [[Macao]], they are (in some ways) probably comparable to [[Guernsey]], [[Jersey]], or some of the former Dutch Antilles, and have special political status. They should most definitely be listed separately.
::Also, given my critique on Mipplor, you might want to read this, [http://www.computerworld.com/s/article/9200820/Elgan_How_spammers_will_poison_your_social_graph Elgan: How spammers will poison your social graph], especially the paragraph that contains ''... One of the best known is the Chinese government's so-called 50 Cent Army, which involves thousands of people paid to post pro-Chinese Communist Party opinions on message boards and social media sites inside China and around the world. ...''
::: I agree with whats [[User:MrTweek|MrTweek]] and [[User:Guaka|guaka]] point out here , you are welcome to continue the geo-political debate in my talk page. --[[User:Mipplor|Mipplor]]
::: Many countries in the world have states, provinces or whatever that have their own laws. Even in some states of the US or of Australia it's illegal to hitchhike. That does not make them very "special" in a political sense. Still, this should be mentioned in the article, but I don't get why Tibet should be listed in a list of countries. They are autonomous, but not independent. It's basically the same status as Catalunya in Spain. I agree that Hong Kong and Macao are something special in a political sense, but they are only cities and connected directly to mainland China, so I don't think that's very relevant for hitchhiking. Change it, if you have been there and disagree. I was never there. --[[User:MrTweek|MrTweek]] 10:06, 13 December 2010 (CET)
