Surely a good sign...
Chinas support for 'progress and development' in Tibet (monster railway, internet, tourism, etc) may have benefitted the average Tibetan little... but it has certainly let them realize that life could be a whole lot better.
Perhaps the Tibetans have finally woken to the greatness of their own potential and possibilities for the future (surely, thriving is better than surviving).
Note Tibet had become a bit of a sleepy hollow and somewhat backward by the time of the Chinese invasion of 1953. Chinese 'shock therapy' was certainly severe but it may well have been instumental in re-kindling Tibetan participation in the wider world of 'life and living'.
