Comment on Overseas Dalai Lama reincarnation ‘could not be recognised’ by Beijing
Bartsbigbugbag@lemmy.ml 2 weeks agoWell, whatever happens, the silver lining is that the Dalai Lama no longer has the power to enslave 98% of the population as was done until the 1950s.

I just hope they can free Tibet from its current oppressive government.

The government that raised literacy to almost 100%, ensures the continuity of Tibetan language which was dying out before as only around 10% of the population was literate, developed hospitals and clinics, provides free education with massive affirmative action policies to ensure Tibetans have easier access to high education, builds modern infrastructure including high speed trains that go up into the previously inaccessible areas of Tibet? That government?

You and I are going to disagree here because I am for a free and independent Tibet as it was before the current government illegally annexed them like Russia is currently doing to Ukraine and the US is currently eyeing up Canada.

Tibet was already an autonomous part of China under the Qing Dynasty, so I’m not sure what you mean by annexed. It still is an autonomous region, but what the current government did was to end the practice of enslavement and sacrifice of Tibetans and guarantee education and healthcare to all, rather than those being restricted to the priestly class.
