Those thing are not mutually exclusive
They’re not, but one of those is made up by western propaganda.
He’s the official leader of Tibet in the west. He represents the Tibetan political movement. If you understood Tibet as the Lama sees it, you’d understand what’s being advocated for is a theocracy that practiced slavery. “Free Tibet” is Lost Cause revisionism.
Before modern Chinese administration, monasteries and the DL held great power, owned vast swaths of land and held legal authority, similar to the Catholic Church in the Middle Ages. Since China incorporated Tibet there’s been secular law and modern infrastructure built in Tibet.
The Chinese government wants all areas it governs to have industries which give people work to build a better quality of life. Part of that is having the communication skills to interact with the job market in China. Mandarin in schools is basic education for future citizens to find work. And outside of anti-government, pro-monastery propaganda, Tibetans are allowed to say, write, and read anything they want in their native language.
Ok then the US should be allowed to dismantle Xi Jinping’s dictatorship and make everyone in Asia speak English.
Very funny. But for the US to be strong enough to save the Tibetans, first you would have to free all the poor US students who are being genocided into learning Spanish.
They even have tibetan on their banknotes iirc as well. I’ve never seen minority languages on the British bank notes. The best thing that I have seen is a Ceilidh on the £20 Ulster Bank note.
Ah but the big thing you’re missing. Is Tibet doesn’t want this.
China has done everything it can to destroy the culture and make them culturally Chinese.
Really? Could you show us the polls proving discontent in Tibet? Or is it just an unfalsifiable claim made by the so-called "Tibet Government in Exile, itself funded by the US?
You’re falling for US propaganda, you have literally no evidence that Tibetans living in Tibet have serious concerns with their government.
Tibet doesn’t want modern infrastructure like the Chinese have built? They don’t want a modern education or modern jobs? They want to be ruled by monasteries headed by the Dalai Lama, a theocracy led by a man in the Epstein files? You must be pretty racist against Tibetans to believe that.
They don’t want to be Chinese or China. The rest is irrelevant and quiet frankly insulting.
Europeans said the same about indigenous Americans. I guess you support that too?
It’s the same thing China is doing to Uyghur Muslims.
It’s called genocide
Again: did you ask Tibetans? Assert your source
there is no genocide there, unjust prosecution of certain ethnicities? on smaller level yes. Genocide? not even close.
Even more insulting is comparing real genocide with having children take Mandarin classes.
Show me videos of the Chinese treating the Tibetans the way Israelis treat Palestinians. Show me Chinese soldiers shooting missiles at Tibetan schools, hospitals, and places of worship. Show me the Chinese military killing Tibetans by the thousands and bragging about it.
Why hasn’t the international criminal court put out an arrest warrant if an actual genocide is taking place? Cry me a river, you propagandistic liar!
Suck my nut it’s genocide and I don’t care how much you say it isn’t.
We aren’t arguing an opinion. It’s a fact.
“Generally speaking, genocide does not necessarily mean the immediate destruction of a nation, except when accomplished by mass killings of all members of a nation. It is intended rather to signify a coordinated plan of different actions aiming at the destruction of essential foundations of the life of national groups, with the aim of annihilating the groups themselves. Genocide is directed against the national group as an entity, and the actions involved are directed against individuals, not in their individual capacity, but as members of the national group”
So am I getting genocided by learning Italian?
There is a difference between government and culture. The Chinese are also trying to terminate the Tibetan language and the cultural customs of common people.
no they arent
This investment is only to extract resources to support central china and suppress the Tibetans by increasing surveillance.
