Ah I missed the last sentence. The human rights issues that were proven false nearly a decade ago, but you liberals have real short attention spans.

Edit- here's another. It gives you an idea on how your opinion has been formulated: https://www.globaltimes.cn/page/202403/1308920.shtml
Don't be a western sheep. Dig deep, and use critical thinking skills. Hating on creepy corpo America, but taking their propaganda at face value makes absolutely no sense.
Thanks, I've been reading up on the increasing cover arguments to the Uyghur discussion. However, does that also apply to their activities in Tibet?
Alright, so I dug into Tibet a little bit, which was a giant pain. It's basically a wall of western media and "non-profits." I do recall this history a bit, but it's been quite awhile since I've read about it.
So America's big shtick is spreading democracy, which is hilarious, right? What happened with Tibet is China freed a million people from feudalism, and for some reason we're upset about it. If the west would have gotten to them first they would have thrown some right wing Hitler wannabe in charge, Nestle or something other giant shitty corporation would have exploited the ever living hell out of everyone, and we wouldn't have heard about it again.. China pushes education through socialism and every CIA/Israel backed "non-profit" loses their shit.
It was quite awhile ago, and it's interesting. I'll definitely be looking for some literature on the topic.
The 9 dash line thing, I don't have much of an opinion. Maritime law is also not my thing.
Parenti article on Tibet (Though I don't always agree with him when it comes to China, he's usually pretty decent): https://tibetanbuddhistencyclopedia.com/en/index.php?title=Friendly_feudalism%3A_the_Tibet_myth
I haven't read about the Tibet propaganda much, but it'd be out of character. A true communist wants happiness for all. I'm pretty exhausted at the moment, but I'll try to dig in later. I see your other response has a couple of topics to check out.
