1. Tibet has about 150,000 monks and nuns, the highest concentration of full-time “clergy” in the Buddhist world. (15万藏族僧侣，这是佛教世界里全职神职人员最高比例的地区)\

2. , 92-94 percent of ethnic Tibetans speak Tibetan. Instruction in primary school is pretty universally in Tibetan. Chinese is bilingual from secondary school onward. All middle schools in the Tibatan Autonomous Region also teach Tibetan. In Lhasa there are about equal time given to Chinese, Tibetan, and English. (92到94%的藏人使用藏语，小学教学仍然使用藏语，从中学开始使用双语即藏语和中文教学，在拉萨汉语、藏语和英语的学习时间基本相等)

3. The illiteracy rate in Tibet is less than 10 percent today, compared with 96 percent in 1950. (今天西藏的文盲率少于10%，1950年是96%)

4. The infant mortality has dropped from 43 percent in 1950 to 0.661 percent in 2000. (西藏的婴儿死亡率从1950年的43%降到2000年的0.661%)

5. Tibetan’s average lifespan has increased from 35 in 1950 to 68 in 2000. (藏人的平均寿命从1950年的35岁上升到2000年的68岁)

6. In 2000, 7.3 million live in the Greater Tibet area of whom 6 million were ethnic Tibetans. If we consider the Tibet Autonomous Region only, Tibetan Chinese occupies 92.2 percent of the current regional population. （2000年，在所谓大藏区中的730万居民中，600万是藏民；如果单独考虑西藏自治区，则92.2%的居民是藏民）

7. A preliminary analysis of the 2005 mini-census shows that from 2000-2005 there was a small increase in the proportion of Han in the central-western parts of Tibet (the Tibet Autonomous Region or TAR) and little change in eastern Tibet. Pro-
independence forces want the Tibetan areas cleansed of Han (as happened in 1912 and 1949); the Dalai Lama has said he will accept a three-to-one Tibetan to non-Tibet population ratio, but he consistently misrepresents the present situation as one of a Han majority. (从2000到2005年汉人在西藏中西部人口略有增长，在东部则基本没有变化。即使是达赖也曾说藏汉人比例大约是3比1，但是他屡次将汉人比例有意歪曲成占该地区人口绝大多数)
