@IndyMediaAus
The article panders to #China ‘s #PRC foreign policy in accepting the #PRC’s claims that any territories the #PLA *invaded* — the most prominent case being the annexation of #Tibet — where historically part of modern China (the *Han* empire, another falsehood). The same illogic applied to its claims on #Taiwan.This makes TWO unbearable foreign policy errors from an Australian perspective. The other, of course, concerns Israel and its Zionist govt.
Tempted not to read the remainder of the article after this monumental error.

CW: CW: Imperialism, China
For the millionth time: if you're anti-imperialist, China is not your utopia. It's imperialist as fuck. Tibet. East Turkestan/Xinjiang. Hong Kong. The South China Sea. Constant military threats against Taiwan. You don't defeat one empire by cheering for another. Anti-imperialism means opposing empires. All of them.
This is not the utopia we are looking for.

📜 Related note on modern day genocide narratives. I grew up at a time when the term genocide referred to a deliberate effort to eradicate an entire/unique ethnic group. The concept was needed when the West had to come to grips with the industrial scale murder programme of the Nazi's Holocaust.
Before and after Hitler, Stalin's soviet-russia (and russians for all the centuries of their colonial expansionism) also aimed to eradicate "minority ethnicities" and their languages and cultures. The invading Spanish colonizers from 1500s onwards weren't exactly boy scouts in South America.
Since invading Tibet in 1950 and taking control of East Turkestan and South Mongolia the Chinese communist (since 2010s ethno-fascist) dictatorship may "only" have killed a significant minority of its newly-captive colonial subjects, but the regime's repressive policies are directly aimed at eradicating those now-occupied "minorities' " ethnic identity, culture, language... their frigging unique written scripts and history (!) while those *lebensraums* are totally dominated by the colonialist Chinese and their settlers.
The CCP is dead set on eradicating those colonized peoples. What is that if not genocide as it was initially conceived after WWII?
The Arabs of Palestine (a post-WWI concept), particularly the civilian population, have been subjected to post-Oct7 Israeli war crimes and massacres that should result in a trial in the Haque. Yet a little a history in useful: The Western Middle East and the entire Northern Africa (and even much of Spain and Portugal from 700s to late 1400s!) was overrun by Arabs (see: The Arab Conquest) incited by the newly created religion of Islam. All of the medieval cultures, languages and populations of North Africa were eradicated. Most Jews fled their ancestral lands, scattering across Europe and in pockets as early "untermensch" under newly-islamic fiefdoms in the region.
Facing repression nearly everywhere, the Nazi Holocaust was the final straw that incentiviced the Jewish people to try and reclaim their ancestral homeland (the idea of nation states had first bloomed in pre-democratic and still partially colonized Europe of 1800s).
Now, IMHO, the re-establishment of a Jewish home state (Israel) was a logical objective under the circumstances (which I realize makes me a "zionist"); the Jewish culture/religion has, due to its characteristics, survived countless generations in exile. Countless populations have been genocided for all eternity, but the Jews managed to hang on for a second chance.
The Arabs now settled in those previously Jewish ancestral lands had a choice to make when the exiled Jews started returning after mid-1940s. Some took Israeli citizenship (recognized by the constitution), others chose to wage war for their piece of the Arab Conquest...
The last Arab-run poll of Gaza population prior to Oct7 attack had 70% of Gazan adults supporting their *islamist* rulers (Hamas cancelled elections after gaining power, quelle surprise). Their specific goal was "from the river to the sea" i.e. total eradication of Israel along the lines of their ancestral Arab Conquest. Ethnically, linguistically and culturally identical to all neighbouring arabicized states they could resume their lives as majority Arabs in any of them (although they're now wary of the militancy!), but it's the principle of the Conquest. Moreover Arabs/islamists have claimed many ancient Jewish holy places as theirs (similar issues irritate the Hindus in India) so owning Israel is a koranic mission to hardline islamists. I'm an agnostic, but I feel that claiming other people's heritage as your religious conquest is a little over the top in modern world.
The Western liberals waving "Palestine" flags and calling rightwing Israelis and the ultra-orthodox settlers nazis are indeed *partially* right.
They should also understand *what* it is that they are supporting (re-enactment of Arab Conquest) and *why* (for the benefit of the anti-democratic Axis and to divide Western democracies).

Tibet is fading from international discourse as its issues of sovereignty, cultural preservation and human rights remain unresolved
"[the self-immolation of Lobga Rangzen] was tragic not merely because a life was lost, but because it underscores an uncomfortable reality. Tibet increasingly enters global consciousness only through moments of extraordinary despair."

“Dvaapadesátiletý Tibeťan Lobzang Paldän, známý také jako Lobga Rangcän, se ve čtvrtek 2. července upálil před sídlem #OSN v New Yorku. Před svým činem zveřejnil video, v němž vyzval Tibeťany k větší aktivitě na podporu nezávislosti Tibetu a odsoudil nový čínský zákon o etnickém sjednocení a pokroku, který posiluje tlak na jednotnou čínskou identitu a omezuje kulturní, jazykovou i náboženskou svébytnost nečínských národnostních skupin, včetně Tibeťanů."

In #Tibet era tradizione che i discepoli scrivessero biografie dei loro maestri. In questo caso, il discepolo è il XIV Dalai Lama e il maestro è Kyabjé Ling Rinpoché (1903-1983), straordinaria figura del #buddhismo tibetano del XX secolo
Il #libro offre un ritratto affascinante della formazione di un tulku leggendario e degli eventi epocali di cui fu testimone. Un viaggio attraverso complesse vicende storiche e umane nelle quali hanno preso forma eventi spirituali di straordinaria bellezza

Kyinzom Dhongdue writes about the impact China's "ethnic unity" law will have on Tibetans
"Behind the language of “unity”, “progress” and “development”, the [ethnic unity] law entrenches state control over almost every aspect of life... It promotes what Beijing calls a “common consciousness of the Chinese nation”, demanding Tibetans to adopt an identity centred on Han Chinese culture and dictated by the CCP."

Jean-Jacques Annaud – „Sieben Jahre in Tibet“ (1997)Anlässlich des Geburtstages von Tenzin Gyatso, des 14. Dalai Lama (* 06.07.1935) erinnert sich auch die ZDF-Spielfilmredaktion wieder an Tibet. Doch das Land wird hier nur dargestellt als entgrenzte Projektionsfläche für spirituelle Sehnsüchte und als Bühne für die persönliche Erweckungsgeschichten eines Nazis. Jean-Jacques Annaud bedient diese Logik mit all der grandiosen Kraft des Kinos – und scheitert gerade deshalb daran, Tibet als politischen Ort ernst zu nehmen. (ZDF, Wh.)
