There's 300,000 people in Lhasa (Tibet's capital). 100,000 Tibetans and 200,000 Chinese.

To relate it back to climbing (a tenuous link), each time we see a website which shows Everest having a Nepalese side and a Chinese side, we need to make the effort to hightlight that it's Tibet, not China that has a link to Everest.

The more we accept the little things the quicker Tibet will be forgotten.
