A minimum of 2 tags with corresponding evidence in the speech	1. Tibet is part of China. The UN has no justification to interfere in another country’s sovereign affairs. (Charter, Art. 2, section 1) * China has stronger claim to China than US to American West. Tibet has been a part of China since 1792. 1728-1912 Tibet had Chinese administrators. Britain invaded Tibet in 1904 and in 1949 Mao Zedong began a campaign of Tibetan liberation, succeeding in 1951 to reunite with it. (Hessler, The Atlantic Monthly, 2/99) 2. China has upgraded the quality of life in Tibet (Possibly rebutting claim that China represses Tibetan culture and quality of life) *In 1996 China spent $600 mil (US spent $800 mil in all of Africa in same yr) to upgrade education, electricity, hospitals, roads and phones. Tibetan taxes are virtually non-existant. (Hessler, The Atlantic Monthly, 2/99). China allows the Buddhist religion and supported the Dalai Lama, but just requires a separation of church and state like most western countries, including the US. (Hessler)	20
