    Who are you to decide which languages are useful and which ones are not? Chinese is a very basic picture based language, barely a step above cave paintings. The people of Tibet will never progress if they are forced to use such a basic, primitive language. Relative to their population China has produced a pathetic quantity of great literature, maybe if China was to adopt the Tibetan language the quality of their literature would improve.
