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”.

What I don’t get about the CCP shills is why they think I would trust the Chinese government when I don’t even trust my own government.
because they think you are as dumb as they are.
Something to consider is that most of the propaganda that makes it past the Great Firewall is likely to attempt to paint a positive view of China given that the CCP has so much control over it.
It’s always the same with the propagandists:
- Tibet does not exist and there’s nothing going on there, it’s western propaganda (Tibet has existed for a long time, China invaded Tibet, there’s information from reliable sources genocide is happening)
- if there’s something going on it’s good for the tibetans and they want it (tibetans themselves have right to decide what they want, and they don’t seem to want to be genocided)
- their savage culture needs to be civilized anyway (this is just racism and imperialism to justify genocide and erasure of people)
- the leadership of Tibet is corrupt and Dalai Lama is on the epstein list so they need to be liberated (you can’t just invade your neighbors even if they have problems)
- big list of how “the west” has done bad things (others doing bad things too doesn’t justify doing them yourself)
- random reasons why it’s not genocide (erasure of culture is genocide by the definitions of genocide)
edit// oh, and next is personal attacks towards people going against their propaganda lmao. Here’s some facts to save some time if anyone wants to look for some faults to discredit me: I’m not american but finnish and I do not support their fascist idiots in power, my country did not colonize anyone (we were the poor losers), we allied with the nazis in ww2 because everyone was allied with soviets and left us at their mercy as a collateral (and we backstabbed the nazis the moment it was a better course of action), I do not support Israel and the genocide of palestinians needs to stop, Russia invaded Ukraine and is genociding there
Oh, and I do not hate chinese people or culture in any capacity, it’s their leadership that’s responsible. I am just very much against genocide, no matter who is doing it
Man, so much whataboutism.
How about we stop deliberately killing off cultures?
Except the only culture being killed off is a feudal theocracy.
Tibetan is still taught in their schools, along with Chinese. HRW is a Zionist organization. OP is a serial Zionist-apologia poster from Isn’treal (just click through their post history). Their agenda is to post US/Zionazi propaganda only.
Yeah some one needs to civilise that savage
Feudal theocracy in 1950s. Tibet never got the time to develop due to China’s brutal occupation.
“HRW is zionist organization”, this is hilariously mistaken, HRW has been super critical of the Israeli gov, IDF and West Bank settlers for decades now: https://www.hrw.org/middle-east/north-africa/israel/palestine
I concede my claim about HRW. I was wrong about them being a zionist org. I’m not wrong about the rest though.
Am I in r/sino?
Eradicating one culture deemed medieval and feudalistic and replacing it with a ethnosupremacist form of feudalist capitalism disguised in a pseudo-Maoist wrapper… Standard fare in the Pooh World where what the Hans are doing is “liberation”. Not only that, the Tibetan plateau is like a smorgasbord for Mainlander corporations looking for rare-earth resources, so there comes the program of forced assimilation which is no more different from banishing all Palestinians from their lands.
(BTW, Israel sold to China some several key technologies, including early-warning radar.)

Ghaza and Lebanon woukd like to have a work with the HRW.
And that word would be “thanks for your support”?

I wouldn’t believe shit coming from human rights watch, people are being made stateless where I’m from and I haven’t heard a peep out of them. Current estimates look around 300k or so.
propaganda
Resistance since the uprising of 1959 has persisted under the current Dalai Lama, a “potent force despite decades of propaganda, political crackdowns and education drives aimed at undermining his authority”, living in exile in India.
What authority are they talking about? Are they arguing that education should not be offered and that instead theocratic leadership is what is most important when considering human rights? I think rather the real propaganda comes from the west in favour of a feudal theocracy.
They’re unironically calling for child sex slaves to be reinstated.
HRW only cares for human rights violations in certain countries. Fuck this imperialistic apparatus.
In addition to what deft is saying in another comment here is the HRW openly stating Israel is committing “crimes against humanity” and “apartheid.”

Nobody can save the whole world at once…
I “wonder” whom they got cultural-genocide-methods from…
https://duckduckgo.com/?q=Hopi+prisoners+in+alcatraz&t=fpas&iar=images&iax=images&ia=images
( Hopi men in Alcatraz prison, because they wouldn’t sign their agreement with their children being taken from them, at gunpoint, to be enforced into the residential-“school” institutions ).
Back in the Nuremberg trials, we had the absolute-gall to maintain that MoralLaw, aka NaturalLaw, aka RuleOfJustLaw, “outranks” RuleOfLegalism.
https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Natural_law
Where, in our genociding of Indigenous Peoples & their culture, both before & after, did we demonstrate that principle??
Oh, we “have the right to be 2-faced” … ??
Anybody who’s tried reading Wehle’s book “How to Think like a Lawyer, and Why”, knows that legalism is the whole of the law, & RuleOfJustLaw/MoralLaw/NaturalLaw … hasn’t got any power to outrank precident.
https://www.kobo.com/us/en/ebook/how-to-think-like-a-lawyer-and-why
( the SCOTUS gutting of the US’s Voting Rights Act stands on legalism, e.g. )
Yes, it is true that I already-know that CCP gaslights about holding to international-law.
My point is that our world holds to “rule of law”, NOT to Rule of Law, & that our pretending otherwise is itself gaslighting.
Yes, Jim Crow 2.0 is being enforced in the US, now.
Yes, ICE is embodying the SAME “principles” in the US that the IDF is embodying in Gaza
( this short, and difficult-to-watch, video explains that … while showing us the murders of ICE, & their other IDF-clone behaviors, … while showing us the IDF’s original-renditions. Please have the guts to see it with your own eyes: it changes one to see & understand, accurately… https://youtu.be/qhZBVLQK9MU )
& yes, this supremacism/genociding principle is enacting in Europe ( ask the Ukranians’ stolen children about it ), in Asia ( see the article linked in the OP ), in the Middle-East ( Netanyahu’s “Israel” … I discovered yesterday that the real LivingSpirit-loyal Jews are calling Netanyahu “Amalek”, which is the embodyer-of-anti-Judaism/“Jewish”-evil ) & in the Americas.
This is part of a global paradigm, not something local to 1 of the 4 world-pushing “poles” of Earth!
It’s the principle/paradigm that needs opposing, not letting the framing be made “only-local”, because so long as we remain blindfolded against the globalness-of-the-paradigm, then we remain as ineffective as they want us to be!

This is the case across all of China, as Mandarin is the language of the state and citizens need it to get good jobs and talk amongst each other. We need to stop pretending Tibet is being oppressed. The Dalai Lama was in the Epstein files.
Tibet is being oppressed. The Dalai Lama was in the Epstein files.
Those thing are not mutually exclusive
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.
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.
