Well in addition to Pakistanis, we have seen Afghans (esp after soviet afghan war ended), Arabs and even Chechens arrive to engage in terrorism on Indian soil...and given their one way ticket to soil fertilisation. They aren't really mercenaries, they don't get paid per se....its just about who...

Friend, we have had this convo a number of times I think now :P I mean why is there any change in the world at all over time? People come to power, entrench and solidify for their advantage.....thinking and projecting they are some complete absolute....but they are wrong...and end up being...

Yes, Chile actually helped the UK with some intel regarding the Falklands war and Argentina. Galtieri (like nearly all autocrat in uniforms) placed little human worth in his grunts in the end. They (to him) were just chips on the table to gamble with like I referenced earlier. Combine this...

I don't see them as Chinese. They are Tibetan. PRC borders do not reflect what China actually is. Mongolia for example is far more closer to China's political history than Tibet ever was...mostly due to Yuan dynasty. Same goes for Turkestan...it is not part of Chinese polity, even the name...
