The title says it all: “China using massive surveillance grid to stop Tibetan self-immolation.” You know what else would stop the Tibetan self-immolation? China getting the hell out of Tibet.

Tibet has abundant water resources, total surface water resources amount to 448.2 billion cubic meters, and underground water resources amount to 110.7 billion cubic meters.
They want the buffer and if they let it go, what else would fall. Same reason we want to keep Death Valley.
Well it is not what is in Tibet. It is the geographic location of Tibet. Tibet is the south west buffer for China. If Tibet goes, China is exposed to Radicals and India.
