Cool surface cherry picking. Tibetans are one of the minority groups in China, as opposed to the entirety of indigenous peoples in the US which is the comparison being made. It also only highlights the language, disregarding the cultural and religious practices.

I do think it's awesome to keep languages alive, but that's not a whole culture.

In other news, indigenous peoples in the US have their own legal system that applies to their lands and which isn't easily infringed on by the federal or state governments. That's not true in China, so while they can speak their language they are still under other types of oppression.

in china minorities get their own autonomous provinces (e.g. Xinjiang for Uyghurs, Tibet for Tibetans) which would be like if the US gave the Navajo nation a whole state with their own autonomy

and their languages on currency

Cool story bro, but I’ve been to Tibet. Autonomous is hardly the word I’d use to describe it.

Did they "give the Tibetans autonomy" or just violently annex a weaker neighbor?

That sucks. Slavery is the worst. Is that why China controls Tibet?

Yes, idiot. The provisional government refused to abandon slavery and started shelling hospitals about it

Pardon my ignorance, I can think of lots of colonies that could also have been justified under similar reasoning

Like the British colony of Tibet, perhaps?

Your ignorance is not pardoned, because you decided to shoot off anyway despite knowing nothing of the players or motives involved. No investigation, no right to speak

In other words, in all likelihood, waves at the Chinese intelligence system running this thread.

Why do you people always feel the need to add some dehumanising shit like this at the end of your replies.

"Oh you don't hate China you must be a bot, shill, intelligence officer, brainwashed etc etc."

You suck.

A whole population is brainwashed to the point that they can't accept the fact we support a country because it legitemately seeks to serve it's people.

Many of these same allegations can be levied at governments such as the Americans; but to differing proportions and often historical rather than modern contexts (excluding Trump).

Liberals, evey single time. Since Biden the US is expanding through South America, sending troops and doing shit, preparing for something. Your 51st state Israel began the genocide under Democrats.
