The per capita net income of farmers and nomads has been growing at a double-digit rate for five consecutive years. It reached 2,788 yuan last year, up 14.5 percent year-on-year, which was 7 percentage points higher than the national average.

Tibetans have remained the majority in China's Tibet Autonomous Region, the Tibetan language has remained the common spoken language, and Tibet's written language has remained the region's main written language.

Monasteries and religious sites can be seen virtually everywhere, there are more monks, and even computers and mobile phones have been equipped with input software in Tibetan.

"No one shall be held in slavery or servitude; slavery and the slave trade shall be prohibited in all their forms," read the Universal Declaration of Human Rights.

The Dalai clique, however, are still seeking to restore the old theocracy in Tibet, featured by the dictatorship by monks and the noble.

This year marks the 60th anniversary of the release of the Universal Declaration of Human Rights. However, in this historic year, the Dalai clique has plotted and incited the Lhasa violence. It is an unabashed challenge to the world's human rights cause, as well as to peace-loving people around the world.

History has witnessed the great progress of human rights in Tibet. It will also witness the ultimate failure of the Dalai clique's separatist scheme.
