One of the worlds most remote and unreported countries is Tibet high in the Himalayas and militarily occupied by China since 1950. In 1959 the Tibetan people rebelled against Chinese rule but this was brutally suppressed and the Dali Lama was forced to flee and form a government in exile.
Over one million Tibetans have died since the Chinese invasion. They are a people facing cultural genocide as thousands of Hans Chinese are settled in Tibet changing the demographic against the indigenous population.
The media is banned from Tibet. Like North Korea Tibet has become a prison for it's inhabitants but resistance continues.
The following video from Free Tibet gives a brief and concise introduction to the plight of the Tibetan people.
