That's right, it's just an accusation. China would never interfere in a person's religious practice or 'freedom'. lol
How dare anyone wany to "tarnish" the freedom-loving, benevolent Chinese gov't.
Let’s see if I got this right.
The PLA invaded his country, he’s living in exile as a result, and it’s the west’s fault.
Maybe he should be a Republican.
His opinion of Tibetans was mind-blowing to me when he told me what he thought of them. In his mind, they were all violent, savage, “animal people”. According to him, Tibetans only bathe three times in their lives: Once when they're born, once when they hit puberty (if I recall correctly) and when they die.
He stated that they take great pride in a “burial” ceremony where they butcher the dead and throw the chunks of meat into the sky for the birds to eat and throw the bones in a lake, and if anyone touches that lake, they're murdered.
On and on he went with stories of children with their faces covered in mucous and dirt a quarter of an inch thick and adults who would sneak up behind you and slash your throat.
Oddly (to me) he'd actually gone there and had photographs and souvenirs.
I'm not saying there is or isn't any veracity to what he's saying (I haven't dedicated much study to it), but it was surprising to me to hear his opinion which was in such stark contrast to what we've heard in the West and I wonder how prevalent this point of view is in China.
Yes, let’s not forget the profound restraint that PRC soldiers showed in June of 1989, enduring patiently the endless abuse of a few thousand trouble-makers, until the order finally came for them to take action./sarc
