In my western education, I was taught not to trust my government. I'm glad I can write these words without fear of jail.
Some of the passages you shared sounds a lot like propaganda. Here are those:
> Invasion was labeled liberation. If you look at the economy and production level of Tibet before CCP's invasion, certainly CCP have brought modern production means and built a much better economy in Tibet.
You're comparing 1950's Tibet to now. Could they have not done well for themselves on their own?
> As for how much was lost in the process, I don't see much. Tibetan still lives a quite traditional way. They certainly are not bothered by the CCP's presence.
This could be 100% false, and you would not know.
> As obviously, to maintain CCP's ruling, Tibetan have been treated much better than the mass majority elsewhere.
China has used violence on the Tibetans. It's not obvious China wants to treat Tibet well.
> Even their lands were largely left for their own use, because immigrants from inland do not perform farming work, and mostly live in concentrated urban area.
Just because Han don't want Tibetan farmland does not mean it belongs to Tibet.
Edit: Thanks for being open minded. I’m glad we can come together and have discussions on topics like these. I will gladly criticize my own government on their injustices.
- justicezyx 5y agoI am certainly more open-minded than mass majority here on HN. I no longer deem it worth any gratitude. And for sure, I wish people here can start opening their mind and eyes more each time after I post some comments.
