"Why is the western press so critical of us? We only killed a few thousand and we have billions of people" - commanding general at Tiananmen Square.
The government is a communist dictatorship (although China itself can no longer be called communist) and like all socialist systems, people are just numbers, not individuals, so are unimportant. Yes, it is extremely hypocritical but they don't care. They care about little other then keeping themselves in power and the way to do that is through nationalism so any attempt to have them play by civilized rule is seen as a dis on China and they have to enslave the Tibetans and stir up trouble using their state picked for loyalty and paid for students abroad to make Chinese citizens feel good about being Chinese citizens. That way they forget about the rampant local corruption, poisoned rivers, polluted air, torture, and the horrible living conditions in the interior. They say everything is an internal Chinese matter then do the same to others as they slam the same being done to them.
