      Yes. Why do you think western nations want to “free” Tibet so badly?

      Plenty of “oppressed” nations out there, yet the West is super concerned about this one particular country. Same with Taiwan.

        The oppression in Tibet is known in the west mainly due to the work of the currently Dalai Lama. Arguing “but there’s oppression elsewhere too!” is not really an argument that can stand in its own, can it? All oppression is bad, no matter where it’s happening.

          I’m not sure you understood my comment. I never made the point that “there’s oppression elsewhere too”, just that the west is selective on who they collaborate with.

          You are correct that the pedo slave owner is the reason you want a “free Tibet”. Marinate on that for a moment…

          I’m sure all those liberated slaves are really sad it couldn’t be done through simple negotiations lol.
