- arp242 5y agoYet Tibet is still part of China, with no signs of that changing in the foreseeable future. I don't think China is "bad at PR"; they just don't care what you or I think. In international relations it seems a small hindrance at best, and it sends a clear signal to both Chinese people and everyone else: "we just do what we want, just try and stop us". Caring about PR is a property of democratic systems.
