Yeah sorry - that answer is the sort that glosses over a huge amount of facts to present a clean a-b-c dependency tree along side a decent heap of sino philia.

So in particular the point on fish farms- fish farms are hard, the fish need many different things to be happy and not sick or affected by parasites.
This means medicines, treatment and more - further this is only viable if you have transportation, refrigeration and markets.
Those make a larger difference than the base technology. Without the transfer and storage tech, the rest is simply bottlenecked.
Further this
>Those Tibetans have no time to go to temples for worshipping any more, instead, they have to work in the greenhouses taking care of tomatoes. This is why Dalai Lama is not so happy to hear this.
Is simply Chinese propo. The Dalai Lama is unhappy, if at all, because China has taken over what used to be an independent nation, decides how their religion should operate, crushed dissent and even ostracized their own citizens who made the mistake of talking to Tibetan protesters to do the very simple human thing of figuring out the other side.
(Voting behavior and soft shilling of the poster in the thread is also pretty odd.)
- pvaldes 7y ago> fish farms are hard Yes and no. Some fishes are really, really hard to culture. Other are very forgiving and easy if you know what to do. Aquaculture shaped China since thousands of years. They have a lot of population in part because they have carps. Is a very efficient way to recycle waste in food.

- changchuming 7y agoThe dalai lama is upset because their old way of life is no longer possible. Whether or not that old way of life is preferable for most people is debatable. Under old Tibetian rule, slavery was rampant and mutilation is the go-to punishment for disobedience.
