What a terribly ill-informed comment. This is something one sees regularly in new
editors, ones who misunderstand NPOV thinking that it is a simple formula of good stuff +
critical stuff == balanced article. Adding Chinese anti-Tibetan propaganda in order to
appease them is not a sensible idea.

You're saying this as though those things were orthogonal to each other.
They are not. When we bow to random entities' wishes of what is
"correct" educational information, you've already fatally compromised
that mission.
Should we remove the articles about Tibet from zhwp so that the PRC is
more accepting of Wikipedia?

No, but including accurate information about the conditions of life of
the serfs and slaves of old Tibet, and the ridiculous superstitions of
the lamas will go a long way toward lifting blocking of those pages.
