    The Tibetan people are committed to Buddhism and nonviolence. Yet, how can they defend themselves from the Chinese?

    The sentry robot would be ideal. For example, if the Tibetans engaged in prayer with a picture of the Dalai Lama, the sentry robot could watch in the front yard. When it sees a Chinese beast moving ominously towards the Tibetan home, the robot signals the Tibetans within the abode. They then quickly disassemble and hide the picture of the Dalai Lama.

    This solution is only a short-term solution. Long term, you must skill the Chinese beast.

    For the uninformed, the Chinese use electric cattle prods to sodomize the vagina of Tibetan nuns.
