Never really have understood the whole set yourself on fire thing do you?
basically if they loose their freedom and their land they will have to live by china's rule, pay taxes ect but as they sustain themselves they do not need or have any real money just goods for trade they are very peaceful in nature and you will hear anyone who see's them setting themselves on fire mostly do not make a sound and die quietly and dedicated to the cause, and while it isnt something they encourage the loss of a few for the needs of the many is the mentality
