Tibetan sources who spoke to Radio Free Asia linked the closures to the Chinese government’s education policies and its promotion of the Ethnic Unity and Progress Law, which took effect on July 1, 2026. They said the shutdowns could further limit opportunities for Tibetan children to learn their mother tongue and cultural traditions.

    Calling China imperialist is akin to admitting you have no clue what the fuck you’re talking about. China hasn’t dropped a bomb in fifty years. Look no further than the US if you’re interested in imperialist ghouls, not socialist China. The idea you think the US wouldn’t spin up these stories is laughable, that’s what we do.

    Closing 3 schools in a country with 1.5 billion people is only news if youre desperate to disparage China because you’re scared shitless of losing control over the world. Sinophobic fucks, you aren’t going to win.

        China, since the revolution, has been lifting up the proletariat of various nations and investing in infrastructure and technologies. There is no debt trapping, those stories have been thoroughly debunked by world economists for decades now.

        The United States, on the other hand, has been using economic warfare since inception.

          “Communist” China, the country with the fastest growing population of billionaires and rapidly growing wealth inequality while the proletariat toil away in terrible working conditions. Slavery with extra steps.

        I am far from ignorant on what constitutes imperialism. China is not imperialist. Their lack of dropping bombs is just one example of how obvious this is. Have you read Lenin’s work on the subject?

          Proving your own declaration wrong with your next sentence is a very tankie talent 😄

          Have you read Lenin’s work on the subject?

          Of whether or not present day China is imperialist? Oddly enough, nobody has 😉

          Just clarifying to readers, here: “imperialism” in m-l terms is strictly an extension of capitalist expansionism for economic extraction, and colonialism is an extension of that.

          Also: since China can do no wrong Tibet has always been a vassal state of the, wait, what am I saying?

          Tankies don’t acknowledge that China and Russia are also settler states that have invaded their neighbours and continue to repress and dominate ethnicities and exploit the regional resources.

            Yep, Everyone is always the hero in their own story. Regardless of whether or not they actually are.

            Tibet was liberated from a feudal mode of production that used slavery. Liberation is not imperialism. You can say China is repressing whomever you want with no evidence, and I can handwave such absurd claims with no evidence.

            You know you’re in trouble when even Wikipedia is telling you there is no genocide in Xinjiang and that Tibet was full of slavers and feudalists.
