It’s all part of the Sinicization playbook, which is exactly what the CCP did in Tibet.

Where crazy is the recent social media propaganda now using influencers - sometimes ones from America or Europe - to pretend Xinjiang is a free society. They’ll walk around showing the village or whatever, which always is suspiciously free of older people. I wonder why.

Tibet was under a caste-based feodal system with serfdom. That might not strictly fit the definition of "slavery", though.

But then it also has to mean that there is obviously no "slave labour" in China today, either.

Everybody wins.

I'm not demonising their culture. It's like saying that if I tell people Nazi Germany was bad, I'm automatically spitting on Germany's culture.

Also, you'd be surprised that mamy Tibetans are very happy under democracy and don't want to see the return to pedo-monarchy, as so many westerners pretend.

Also I'm sorry but don't pretend we love freedom of speech in the West. Go to the UK and try saying "killing children is bad. I support Palestinian Action" and see how it goes for you.
