The head of the Tibetan "government-in-exile" accused the Chinese government of "a massive movement of ethnic Han Chinese into Tibet" when talking with the Wall Street Journal on Nov. 20. However, according to a Chinese researcher, "it is a prejudice against China and a groundless argument".

Chen Mo, researcher of China Tibetology Research Center said to the China Tibet Online in an interview in November that "this is a preconceived mindset".

He argued that first，as the Chinese citizens, people of any ethnic groups have the right to migrate. As China is now in the market economy, the allocation of resources totally depends on the market. "So how can the Chinese government forbid people from inland China to do business in Tibet?"

Second, the central government has poured in a huge amount of funds to Tibet, which propels people to migrate from the inland and other Tibetan-inhabited areas to engage in Tibet's development. "So the migration is absolutely normal!"

However, according to Chen, Tibet has adopted many "protective" measures for the benefit of the local people. For example, the purchase permit of tri-cycles, an increasingly popular means of transportation in Tibet is only restricted to the Tibetans, who then rent them to the outsiders to make money. In addition, the local Tibetans also enjoy other preferential policies in compensations for land use or running businesses.

Third, with Tibet's booming industries in tourism, catering and hospitality, a bigger number of laborers have flocked in. But most of the hotels or inns are owned by the Tibetans themselves. As a result, tourism has expanded the Tibetan market, and more agronomists in vegetable planting and construction engineers have been fostered in Tibet thanks to the exchanges between Tibet and inland China. In this sense, Tibet's development has not only brought about well-being to the Tibetans, but also to all the other ethnic groups including the Hans.

Despite all of the privileges received by the Tibetans, the Dalai clique still sticks to the "Five Point Peace Plan" addressed by the Dalai Lama to the U.S. Congressional Human Right's Caucus in 1987, "For the Tibetans to survive as a people, it is imperative that the population transfer is stopped and Chinese settlers return to China".

As Zhu Weiqun, China's political advisor said to the reporter with the Swiss newspaper Neue Zuercher Zeitung on Oct.18, 2013 , "No matter on what occasions, the Dalai Lama has never withdrawn his demand that 'the Han Chinese in Tibet should return to China.'"

Tibet is an inalienable part of the Chinese territory since the ancient times, and the Chinese citizens have the right to migrate and live in any place of their homeland, which is an inevitable requirement in a civilized and democratic country. Therefore, the Dalai Lama could not deprive the Chinese people of their right to come to Tibet, as Zhu stressed.

In terms of the population makeup of Tibet that the western media is always concerned about, Zhu said, "In fact, there is no big change since Tibetans still account for over 90 percent of the total population in Tibet."

He quoted the late Chinese leader Deng Xiaoping as saying that "Tibet is a vast area only populated with two million ethnic Tibetans, so the Han people should go there to help them with their development."

In this sense, if the Dalai clique is to "drive all of the Han Chinese out of Tibet", it would undoubtedly bring a disaster to Tibet as well as to the multi-ethnic country, as Zhu said.
