A new report by Human Rights Watch argues that the compulsory use of Chinese as the primary language in schools in Tibet raises “serious concerns under international human rights law”.

    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

          Dumb question. They have made it clear throughout their history. They are Tibet. Not China.

          Colonizer ass question.

            “Colonizer ass question” is when you want to know the opinion of the locals instead of falling for US propaganda, sure buddy

                    Then why are you saying it’s its own country? Tibet Autonomous Region is literally a subdivision of China, there are essentially no countries denying this?

                    Total votes in the last elections to the Tibetan Government in Exile: 60k. Surely those represent the plurality of the MILLIONS of Tibetans in Tibet huh?

                    Also, from Wikipedia:

                    The Central Tibetan Authority is not recognised as a sovereign government by any country

                    Why are we talking about this?

                    Because you’re an uneducated twat who believes the so-called “Tibet government in exile” has any modicum of representation of Tibetans, instead of the reality of it being a royal family kicked out of their country by a socialist revolution and being angry about it. Imagine if the family of Marie Antoinette had a French Government in Exile, would you take it seriously? This is literally what you do.

        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”
