  • Why are we talking about this?

    Because you’re an uneducated twat who believes the so-called “Tibet government in exile” has any modicum of representation of Tibetans, instead of the reality of it being a royal family kicked out of their country by a socialist revolution and being angry about it. Imagine if the family of Marie Antoinette had a French Government in Exile, would you take it seriously? This is literally what you do.










  • attempting to discredit the source to distract from the message that they are trying to push

    Yes, because the message they’re trying to push is “China bad” as a US-gvt and Zionist controlled “NGO”, in the current cold war that the US is instigating against China as the former loses worldwide economic dominance.

    The story here is the attempted cultural genocide of the Tibetan people by the Chinese government

    Yes, and I’d take it seriously if it was real and not fabricated propaganda designed to target the most progressive among us.

    I come from a nation that has almost lost its language as a result of similar colonial cultural genocide

    I’m very sorry about that. Is China the aggressor in your instance, or are you projecting Western colonialist history onto China because the US propaganda outlets are telling us to do so?

    This issue may not be real or important to you

    It’s extremely important to me. And if it were important to you, you’d be doing activism not for the fabricated false news about Tibetan language, but actual cultural genocides ongoing right now in the west that I haven’t seen you do activism about, such as Breton or Occitan in France, the latter of which has gone from 1Mn speakers to 100k over the past century and, to this day, enjoys no official recognition or status. Lhasa Tibetan is, TODAY, the official language of the Tibet Autonomous Region of China. In the 1950s, there were about a million speakers of Tibetan in China, today there are about 6 million. From Wikipedia:

    "In the Texas Journal of International Law, Barry Sautman stated that “none of the many recent studies of endangered languages deems Tibetan to be imperiled, and language maintenance among Tibetans contrasts with language loss even in the remote areas of Western states renowned for liberal policies”

    I understand your concern with the preservation of languages and cultures, I completely share that mindset. However, I urge you to look at the material facts beyond US/Zionist-fabricated fearmongering: Chinese currency portrays the currency values written in Tibetan among other languages of China, Tibetan speakers only grow over time according to modern evidence, and the countries warning against such acts are literally carrying out unspoken acts of linguistic genocide.
