Han supremacy has all the markings of other supremacist movements and will unfortunately need to be confronted. Not sure when the world will work up the courage to do so, though.

Oh we'll let it fester for as long as possible because our political class are cowards. We are in the peace at any price stage.

I am not sure why this is downvoted. Almost all such regimes in human history had to be confronted via war. I do not feel like my family, friends, and countrymen need to fight,die, or pay for for tibet.

Its not only that, they have many politicians on their books. Even western publications are warry about highlighting what's happening prominently. Today a NYPD officer was caught spying for them. https://abc7ny.com/nypd-spying-baimadajie-angwang-tibetan-of... (caution playing video)

And in an extreme twist of irony, the NYPD officer is ethnically Tibetan.

He probably had family they got to.

You think they will stop with Tibet? The CCP wants China to be the new world hegemony. They think that their illiberal system is the only way and they want to spread it to every corner of the world. War is not the answer because it would be inconceivably horrific. But the world needs to stand up to China and stop putting up with their crap. Stop buying their crap. Start calling them out for their imperialism.

Why were our grandparents willing to sacrifice their life for the Europeans?

We didn't enter combat of WWII until we were attacked via Pearl Harbor.

Also they hadn't been through nearly 30 years of constant war before hand. A nation can get weary from war.

Well they weren't. It took great deal of effort to get involved in both wars. The US has traditionally been isolationists on matters in the eastern hemisphere.

And it took world wars - here we are talking about internal china problem which is harder sell. China invading someone US cares about - like Japan may convince the US public to pay the nuclear butcher bill, but what they do on their own territory is not

Imagine in an alternate world, it is 1937 and America imports most of its products from Nazi-run Germany, because they are better at producing them at lower cost. There have been persistent rumours of mistreatment of Jews, particularly on the periphery of their empire, but the reports are disparate and refuted by the Germans. Every year more and more evidence is mounting of German nationalism and forced labour, but s…

You do know that most of the Europeans didn't have a problem with Germany's antisemitism. What do you think why germany had such a big jewish community and culture in the first place? Because they were driven out of the other countries and could live freely in Germany. But also in Germany the hate finally prevailed.

Han supremacy? Laughably absurd. Just because some other cultures have a history of thinking they're better than everyone else doesn't mean that every culture does. Accounts of what China and the West thought of each other survive from the era of Marco Polo. The Chinese thought of Western Civilization with equality and respect. The West's opinion on the Chinese? Barbarians. Every country has its bigots, but suggestio…

This is some grade A+ projection over here. Han chauvinism was so bad that Mao Zedong drafted a party directive specifically to address it.

Please explain to me how its projection. Modern China's problem is the abundance of uneducated people. The racism mostly stemmed from ignorance. Same exact reason that when I visited Ecuador people pointed and stared.

The wiki article doesn't even state that 'Han chauvinism' was 'bad'. It doesn't list a single incident of 'Han chauvisnism'. Do you know what the little red book is? You took the first result from google search and you didn't even read it.
