Bravo, Infinite Chaos. I didn't know about this photo but it sums up everything I think about the government of the PRC.....phony as a three dollar bill.

And there is the bandwagoning, Tibet is Chinese hence it is a misrepresentation to claim some variation in the first place. Ethnic Han are the ones being beaten and yes they are innocent.

Question: so what?? An ad photo made to look better than reality; certainly we've never heard of that ever before. Unless you are insinuating that there has been a dishonest presentation of the photos I've shown I really don't understand the purpose of this post.

Communists have always used to do that.

Like all the pictures where Trotsky has "disappeared"

If I wanted to say your images are a dishonest representation I would have said so. I think I am honest enough in that regard...

As for the purpose of the post, I leave that to what I originally said when I posted it - that was clear enough first time round. Any further attempt to "explain" myself would just muddy the water.

Infinite Chaos

You know, reading this - I get the image of countless millions of Chinese in their tanks cowed and suppressed wherever they go by Tibetan thugs. It's just the way you've written it jfuh - the most populous Nation on earth cowed and beaten into submission within its own borders by thug Tibetans.

I too have watched BBc reports and Tibetan are shown attacking chinese passersby within Tibet, the propaganda is being warred on both sides but I certainly don't see events as one-sided (Tibet beating up the Chinese) in the same way you seem to.

well for starters as has been shown already foreign media has a tendancy to intentionally misrepresent the facts to better resonate with readership; I wouldn't want such misrepresentation either. Granted that deffinetely takes out the objectivity from anything produced on the matter yet from the bandwagoning I have seen here as long as china is communist it seems it won't matter what they do everything will still be viewed negatively regardless of because it resonates.

again I can't understand this, when gb colonized Tibet by annexation they enslaved the Tibetans, then when the Chinese nationalists ruled the dalai lama propped himself up as a demigod living in luxury while normal people were forced to live in utter poverty and authoritarian rule without justice. The prc took over and ruled with an iorn fist; undesireable true but the far lesser of the former evils. Sanitation, social justice, obligate school education regardless of sex or social status, modern medicine ECT. But ironically the west band wagons with the lama without regard to just what the lama represents or what government he advocate, simply because he seems like the weak being bullied by a dictorial regime which opposes religious freedom all which resonate with western mind set from the cold war era. But mostly only half truth. In particular with religious freedom - I'll discuss this more later

Infinite Chaos

Aren't you forgetting the period in between GB leaving Tibet and Mao Zedong telling Tibet of his plans of "liberation" in 1949?

In your version of history - Tibet has never been an independant Nation?

jfuh

It's not my version, it's historical fact. A nation called the Republic of China (aka Taiwan).

Yes Tibet is still included in there.
To further on what you have presented here however, who did GB colonize Tibet from?

jfuh

I don't make arguments against unless I clearly understand what the poster is presenting. I am uncertain as to the intent of that ad photo in relation to the current events.
Hence as per the honesty portion, are you insinuating that the images I've posted are forged?
