@AmitSingh-vi8jk Starts killing their leaders? Which Tibetan leader did the communist party kill? The Tibetan government themselves signed the Seventeen Point Agreement for the Peaceful Liberation of Tibet (中央人民政府和西藏地方政府关于和平解放西藏办法的协议) for short in 1952. The agreement is valid since it was signed by Tibetan government, so what killing of leaders are you talking about?
Previously, while Tibet was under Dalai Lama rule, Tibet was a brutal theocracy, where 95% of the population were slaves and the remaining 5% elites were slave owners. Tibetan mountainous soil is infertile, rainfall is scarce in the Himalayas, so the slaves had to work hard to feed the Tibetan population. Starvation was commonplace and theft of food was punished by torture, amputation and even skinning. There's this Tibetan drum called damaru that's made from human skulls, a drumskin made of human skin and drumstick made of human bone. The Dalai Lama was overly worshipped and his followers fought for the right to consume his saliva, his urine and even his feces, because he was considered a divine vessel.
After Tibet returned back to China, Chinese workers began rapidly modernising Tibet, building roads, railways, streetlamps, running water, gas and electricity as well as introducing modern amenities like cars, computers, telephone cables, smartphones, the Internet, WiFi, online shopping (from Taobao) and so on. Under CCP, the first Tibetan colleges opened in Lhasa, offering degrees in both Tibetan and Mandarin Chinese languages. Hydroelectric powerstations were built by Chinese to supply Tibetan homes with electricity.

Chinese workers built the Qinghai-Lhasa railway (world's highest elevation railway) through dangerous mountainous terrain and low oxygen environments, to connect the normally isolated Tibet with the rest of the world. Tibet can now import food from the mainland to feed its population, and Tibet's population has tripled from 1 million in 1950s to over 3 million people today. A thriving tourist industry has even sprung up in Tibet.

@AmitSingh-vi8jk The 14th Dalai Lama is a CIA agent and a traitor to his people. Declassified CIA files have revealed that the 14th Dalai Lama secretly accepted funding from the CIA to train guerrilla Tibetans in covert separatist activities against the central government.
A total of 1,735,000 dollars was devoted to the CIA Tibetan program for FY1964
-Tibetan resistance efforts in Nepal (US$500,000)
-Tibet Houses in New York and Geneva (1/2 year) (US$75,000)
-Training (US$855,000)
- Subsidy to the Dalai Lama (US$180,000)
-Miscellaneous costs (US$125,000)
Source: CIA Tibetan program wikipedia.org/wiki/CIA_Tibetan_program#Costs
American CIA has been secretly sponsoring separatist activities in Tibet against the mainland and only after the CIA files been declassified that this interference has been revealed.
Who said that foreign media aren't allowed inside Tibet? Here's a video (by WildFilmsIndia) of Lhasa, Tibet Autonomous Region, China and contrary to common misconceptions, Tibetans now have roads, railways, highways, bridges, running water, gas and electricity, as well as modern technology like cars, smartphones, computers, Internet, WiFi, online shopping and so on.

@manojattri9339 Ancient Chinese invented gunpowder and gunpowder weapons like handcannons, handgrenades, fragmentation bombs, landmines, naval mines, exploding cannonballs, rocket launchers, multi-launch rockets, and of course, fireworks. Americans celebrate the 4th of July with Chinese inventions, and world's oldest conformed surviving firearm is the Heilongjiang 黑龙江 handcannon, manufactured no later than 1288.

A 14th-century military treatise, the Huolongjing (Fire Dragon Manual), describes hollow cast iron cannonball shells filled with gunpowder. The wad of the mine was made of hard wood, carrying three different fuses in case of defective connection to the touch hole.

@AmitSingh-vi8jk I cited you a video by WildFilmsIndia, depicting modern Lhasa, Tibet Autonomous Region, China. Here's a travel vlog by Canadian tourist (Vafa Anderson) on his visit to Lhasa.
Video: Welcome to Lhasa Tibet - Exploring the City (By Vafa Anderson) youtu.be/J-TfN56ETVM
He took the Qinghai-Lhasa railway (world's highest elevation railway) and explains how each carriage comes equipped with it's own oxygen tank, because of low oxygen environments in the Himalayas. In Lhasa, you can see so many religious Tibetans praying, performing full-body kowtows, and spinning those "prayer tops" in prayer. The Canadian tourist was in Lhasa in 2006 and 10 years later (in 2016) he remarked how much Tibet has changed in a decade.
Who says that the Communist Party of China is constantly killing Tibetans and changing the demography? Tibetans and other ethnic minorities are not affected by the One Child Policy unlike the Han and Tibetans can have as many kids as they want. The population of Tibetans in China has actually increased over the years.
Population of Tibetans in China (1953–2010)
1953: 2,775,622
1964: 2,501,174
1982: 3,821,950
1990: 4,593,072
2000: 5,416,021
2010: 6,282,187
Source: wikipedia.org/wiki/Demographics_of_China#Ethnic_groups
So from 1953–2010, the population of Tibetans in China actually increased from 2,775,622 to 6,282,187, so how is the CPC killing Tibetans?

@DippinSauc You can't answer my question, so you resort to hurling personal insults against me for my views? China today is the world's 2nd largest economy, the world's factory (Made in China) having world's 2nd highest R&D spending, being world's 3rd largest weapons exporter, having world's largest land army, the People's Liberation Army, funded by the world's 2nd highest military expenditure and China today has strong global presence as well as being an influential player of world politics.
Where's Taiwan's economy is ranked 23rd in the world, its manufacturing jobs have been virtually all but outsourced to be the mainland (Made-in-Taiwan used to be commonplace, but it's been largely replaced by Made-in-China) Taiwan has failed to deliver on their promise to someday retake the mainland and instead, it relies on US weapon imports.
Worst of all, Taiwan today has hardly any global presence, it's merely a pawn on the chessboard between world powers.

@DippinSauc Granted, the Communist Party of China is not perfect (then again which government body truly is?) but despite its initial failures and setbacks, under its leadership, China's population doubled, our lifespans doubled, our literacy rates doubled, and our poverty rates plummeted. The graph below shows life-expectencies across China, USA and India.
Source: Life expectancy at birth, total (years) - China, India, United States data.worldbank.org/indicator/SP.DYN.LE00.IN?locations=CN-IN-US
China was once a dirt-poor, war-torn, starving country similar to India (world's largest democracy) in the past, but today, China has since transformed into world's 2nd largest economy, the world's factory (Made in China) having world's 2nd highest R&D spending, protected by world's largest land army, the People's Liberation Army, funded by world's 2nd highest military expenditure.
And it's all been achieved under communist party leadership, despite Western anti-Communist propaganda constantly denouncing China's success all along.

@DippinSauc You repeatedly failed to produce Taiwan's declaration of independence, then what more needs to be said? And you can't even show how Taiwan is better than the mainland. Besides smartphones and drones, China is home to many of the world's largest banks including ICBC, China Construction Bank, AgBank, Bank of China, Bank of Communications, Postal Savings Bank of China, China Merchants Bank, Industrial Bank (China), Shanghai Pudong Development Bank, China CITIC Bank, China Minsheng Bank, China Everbright Bank, Ping An Bank, Hua Xia Bank, Bank of Beijing, China Guangfa Bank, Bank of Shanghai, Bank of Jiangsu, China Zheshang Bank and so on.

But where are the famous companies from Taiwan as opposed to the mainland? How can Taiwan possibly hope to compete with the sheer economic power of the mainland?

@DippinSauc China has produced successful Internet companies like Alibaba, Tencent, JD, Baidu, Suning.com, Bytedance (Tik Tok), Meituan-Dianping, NetEase, Kuaishou, Trip.com, Pinduoduo, Sina Corp, Sohu and so on

But where are the famous companies from Taiwan as compared to the mainland? How can Taiwan possibly hope to compete with the sheer economic power of the mainland? You can't even produce Taiwan's formal declaration of independence like I asked you to, so by default, Taiwan is part of China under their own constitution.

@ccp_fact_checker Evil? China is currently at peace and not at war with any country, since our last major conflict in 1979. Instead of making war, China is building infrastructure like roads, railways, highways, bridges, tunnels, powerstations, dams, ports, airports, etc and investing in developing countries like Sri Lanka, Nepal, Bangladesh, Pakistan, Kazakhstan, Kyrgyzstan, Tajikistan, and also African countries like Nigeria, Kenya, Chad, Sudan, Ghana, Mozambique, Tanzania, etc.
Whereas the United States is warmonger being involved in Gulf War, Iraq War, Afghan War, Libyan War, Syrian War, Yemen War, etc, even in the 21st century. USA is bombing in those Middle Eastern countries and enacting regime change by cutting off their "heads" (Saddam Hussein, Muammar Gaddafi, etc) and then installing their own US puppet governments in place.

@olcankanicok9125 China is home to world's largest highspeed railway network, surpassing even Japan's Shinkansen hi-speed rail in terms of track length. Our high-speed trains are world class, the journeys very smooth and enjoyable. Passengers have even experimented by balanced small objects like coins, stationery and smartphones on their edges in a train traveling at 350 kph, and the objects remain undisturbed (even stagnant water remains still) for long period of time.
Video: Watch how long coin can balance on high-speed train traveling at 350 kph youtu.be/fumYdO9XknE
Prior to the advent of high speed rail, during the Spring Festival, people in China would make the trip back to our home province to spend the new years with family and friends and the journey would often take several days. But thanks to China's high-speed rail, the commuting times have been cut short, from days to mere hours.
Countries by high-speed rail lines in operation
1. China (38,207 km)
2. Spain (5,525 km)
3. Germany (4,692 km)
4. France (3,802 km)
5. Japan (3,421 km)
6. Sweden (2,055 km)
7. United Kingdom (1,757 km)

@olcankanicok9125 China is home to two of world's fastest supercomputers, the Sunway Taihulight (神威·太湖之光) and Tianhe-2 (天河-2) and in 2017 Top500 supercomputer survey, China beat USA with 202 out of 500 of the world's fastest supercomputers, compared to USA's 144 out of 500.

Supercomputers play an important role in the field of computational science, and are used for a wide range of computationally intensive tasks in various fields, including quantum mechanics, weather forecasting, climate research, oil and gas exploration, molecular modeling (computing the structures and properties of chemical compounds, biological macromolecules, polymers, and crystals), and physical simulations (such as simulations of the early moments of the universe, airplane and spacecraft aerodynamics, the detonation of nuclear weapons, and nuclear fusion).

@sureshkandasamy4972 Here's a vid of modern day Lhasa, Tibet, China (filmed by WildFilmsIndia) and you can see how developed Lhasa has become under communist party rule.

Even the poorest Tibetan farmer can afford a smartphone, connect to the Internet and shop online in Taobao and have his purchases shipped all the way to Tibet in the Himalayas.
Because Tibet is part of China after all.

+Dan Neutron Actually, during Yuan dynasty China, it was Mongolian leader Kublai Khan that choose to abandon his culture and embrace Chinese culture, proclaiming himself emperor of Yuan Dynasty China. During Yuan dynasty, Mongolia (both Inner and Outer) were incorporated into China.
The same thing happened in Qing dynasty, when Manchu leaders proclaim themselves emperors of Qing Dynasty China, and incorporated Manchuria into China. Han Chinese had little to do with the incorporation of Mongolia and Manchuria into China.
Lastly, Tibet was incorporated into China in Yuan dynasty too, when Mongolians conquered Tibet and made it part of Yuan dynasty China. Around this time, Xinjiang was also conquered and incorporated by Mongolians.
If you think Chinese "stole" technology, then what about your countries making use of Chinese inventions like paper, printing, compass and gunpowder? Chinese people also invented the crossbow which was used by Europeans in medieval ages. China does not fault your countries for using our technologies, so why are you claiming we stole Western "technology"?

+Dan Neutron Kublai Khan called his empire "Yuan dynasty China" not "Mongolian Empire" so it was clear that he had embraced Chinese culture and abandoned his own. During his reign, Mongolians were nomadic tribesmen and know nothing about growing food, so Chinese farmers feed the empire. Mongols know nothing of running an empire as large as China, so Chinese bureaucrats took over the daily affairs. Thus, Yuan dynasty is as much Chinese civilization as it is part of China.
According to en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Qing_dynasty
"The Manchus identified their state as "China" (中國, Zhōngguó; "Middle Kingdom"), and the emperors equated the lands of the Qing state (including present-day Northeast China, Xinjiang, Mongolia, Tibet and other areas) as "China" in both the Chinese and Manchu languages, defining China as a multi-ethnic state, and rejecting the idea that "China" only meant Han areas.
The first compasses were made of lodestone, a naturally magnetized ore of iron, in Han dynasty China between 300 and 200 BC. The earliest chemical formula for gunpowder appeared in the 11th century Song dynasty text, Wujing Zongyao. Han Chinese have always lived in the lands constituting China today. Besides China is multi-ethnic, and not just Han Chinese only. Tibetans, Ugyghurs, Mongolians and Manchu people living in China are some of China's 50+ recognized ethnic groups.
Crossbows were in use in China since Qin dynasty. We know this because we have found bronze crossbow triggers in Qin Emperor's tomb, when the other parts like wood and string have long since rotted away. If you come to Xi'An to visit the tombs, you can find them on display.
Even if modern paper is exactly the same as in ancient China, paper's use in China is what laid the foundation for paper's widespread use today. Papyrus and other materials had died out due to competition with Chinese paper. Also Chinese invented paper banknote so that people today don't have to carry around precious metals as currency, which revolutionized trade.

+Dan Neutron According to en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Qing_dynasty#Names
-After conquering "China proper", the Manchus identified their state as "China" (中國, Zhōngguó; "Middle Kingdom"), and the emperors equated the lands of the Qing state (including present-day Northeast China, Xinjiang, Mongolia, Tibet and other areas) as "China" in both the Chinese and Manchu languages, defining China as a multi-ethnic state, and rejecting the idea that "China" only meant Han areas.
-The Qing emperors proclaimed that both Han and non-Han peoples were part of "China". They used both "China" and "Qing" to refer to their state in official documents, international treaties and foreign affairs, and "Chinese people" (中國之人 Zhōngguó zhī rén) referred to all subjects of the empire.
-In the Chinese-language versions of its treaties and its maps of the world, the Qing government used "Qing" and "China" interchangeably.
So what makes you think China is only consists of Han Chinese only? China has over 50 recognized ethnic groups, including Manchu, Mongols, Uyghur and Tibetan. You know how USA has Caucasian Americans (White), African Americans (Black), Latin Americans (Brown), Asian Americans (Yellow) and of course, Native Americans (Red)? Its the same thing with China here.

+Trel carbyx Firstly, that tribunal (Permanent Court of Arbitration) is not even official UN agency, like International Court of Justice, Since the case was not conducted by official UN agency like ICJ, China reserves the right not to adhere to its jurisdiction, regarding issues like territorial sovereignty.
United Nations stresses separation from Hague tribunal
scmp.com/news/china/diplomacy-defence/article/1989486/united-nations-stresses-separation-hague-tribunal
Furthermore, China made declaration in accordance with the UN Convention on the Law of the Sea in 2006 not to accept any of the procedures regarding territorial sovereignty. Many countries including the United Kingdom, Australia, Italy, France, Canada, and Spain made similar declarations to reject any of the procedures regarding determining national sovereignty.
