A provocative argument. Tibet has nothing to show for its well-intentioned pacifism, says the author.

Tibet today has the distinction of being the world’s largest colony. In official Chinese documents, it is classified as “Water Tower Number One”— a source of prized minerals and hydropower. Since annexing Tibet, Beijing has relentlessly disfigured it. It has mined and carted away its mineral wealth, dammed and diverted waters from its bountiful rivers, herded innumerable Tibetans into communes, stamped out the expression of Tibetan identity, and annihilated whole ways of life.

    If you stop posting inflammatory ragebait headlines, maybe I would stop reacting to them. Once you post, it is not up to you how other people react.

      So you admit that you didn’t bother even reading the article and just responded to the headline (which I didn’t write). Well, personally I did actually read the article. All of it. Some I agreed with, some less so, in any case it was interesting and I still recommend it.

        I admitted no such thing. You are not discussing the topic in good faith, so I will block you and good riddance.
