I think the conditions of life in Tibet prior to the Chinese takeover were terrible. It was a feudal theocracy with widespread slavery and the average citizen probably fared worse than contemporary North Korea.
Regardless of this however, all nations have the right of self-determination. I am not an advocate for or against Tibet's independence or integration into China. What I am in favour of is Tibetans being allowed to choose which path they take for their own country.
