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”.

    Racist choice of wording. Forced to learn a native language after experiencing an invasion in less than a lifetime.

    Interesting

      You understand Tibet was not invaded right? Just like the US was not invaded by the French during the revolutionary war.

        You’re right Tibet isn’t even real. Avatar the Last Airbender isn’t an allegory to anything.

        Hahahaha China’s imperialism is always like “the Chinese army arrived, the enemy laid down their guns and embraced their saviors. There was 90,000 less Tibetans two years later”

        And you think anybody buys it.

        It’s like the fishermen vessels shit they pull, tiananmen square, “color revolutions” it’s so childish. Absolutely pathetic and transparent.

          The Tibetan civil war is an extensively documented historical event. Until the 1980s it wasn’t even controversial that China aided the popular uprising against the Child Rapist theocracy in charge. Even then the current propaganda line is ‘it wasn’t even a real civil war, it was instigated by communists living in the country knowing they’d get Russian and Chinese support.’

          The propaganda has never been 'there was no civil war china, despite being incredibly vulnerable and weak having just won its own civil war and recovering from the early days cut off by the Western world for choosing communism, just decided to invade a country randomly for imperialism despite not having a national identity yet that would imply imperialism.

          Your misunderstanding, or total ignorance of history does not mean there’s a magical conspiracy from those evil communist slurs.

            You peeked my interest and I did a little research. Needless to say your take is garbage apologist nonsense.

            https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Annexation_of_Tibet_by_the_People's_Republic_of_China

            https://www.history.com/this-day-in-history/march-10/rebellion-in-tibet

            https://www.jstor.org/stable/resrep06540?seq=12

            China is on record in the 50’s stating that Tibet was a vassal state. Your denial of imperialism is outright pathetic.

              The age of consent in China is 18, actually. The confusion comes from the fact specific propagandists want you to think ‘more serious consequences for victims under 14 means victims have to be under 14 to have any consequences.’ If you’re over 18 then under 18 year olds are off limits

              I promise the weird site you got that off of isn’t accurate.

              Also the child rapists were the religious theocracy the people rose up against and overthrew. They had institutional child sex slavery. This wasn’t the main cause of the civil war, but it was a serious part of it. The Dalai Lama is a pedophile. He wants to re-institute child sex slavery. That is the ‘state’ he wants returned.

                  Read the next section. The one that states any adult with ‘power over’ a minor above the age of 14 commits rape.

                  No, it’s not the specific escalated charges for people under 14. Like every country has a special set of laws for young children that do not apply to all children.

                    No it doesn’t. The age of consent in pedophile haven China is 14.

                    Personnel who have special responsibilities towards underage females who are over the age of fourteen, and who use their superior position or the victim’s isolated and helpless situation to coerce the underage victim into submission and have sexual relations with her, shall be convicted and punished for rape.

                    This section? It’s 14.

                    The crimes of sexual assault against minors referred to in this opinion include rape, forced molestation and insult of women, child molestation, organizing prostitution, forced prostitution, inducing, harboring or introducing prostitution, inducing underage girls into prostitution, and soliciting prostitutes under the age of 14,

                    This literally is them legally defining the age of a minor. Which is 14 and below. The age of consent is 14.
