Tibetan sources who spoke to Radio Free Asia linked the closures to the Chinese government’s education policies and its promotion of the Ethnic Unity and Progress Law, which took effect on July 1, 2026. They said the shutdowns could further limit opportunities for Tibetan children to learn their mother tongue and cultural traditions.

    You do understand the person that I quoted that was basically implying that was you right?

    In nearly 300 years of strife. I don’t think the state ever dropped bombs on my people or ancestors. That doesn’t make what they did not imperialism. And even then. Even if China isn’t directly dropping the bombs. They’re supplying Russia who is. The state by its absolute Monopoly on violence and overwhelming Force doesn’t even need to fire a shot sometimes. Let alone drop a single bomb. But it’s still imperialism all the same. And you’re twisting into pretzels trying to defend it is pretty disgusting. Imperialist often see themselves as liberators or uplifting people. It’s rarely true.

    The state has always been the oppressor. And those who defended it tools.

      Ahistorical drivel. China is not imperialist, and if you can’t see that, I ask that you study Lenin’s titular book on the topic. There is no pretzels twisting, I can happily debunk whatever claim you make about China being imperialist with ease.

      The state is not an enemy, only idealists think this way. The state, when governed by the proletariat, is good.
