A majority of members of the #parliament in #Estonia have signed a letter of protest against China's new "law on ethnic unity." The MPs strongly condemned the #law, which was aimed at assimilating ethnic minorities in #China, including #Mongols, #Tibetans, and #Uyghurs.

No mention of #China so far. It's remarkable that this can be possible. Complain about Palestinian voices being suppressed with doing the same thing to #Uyghurs and #Tibetans...

#Tibetans (Tibetan: བོད་པ་, Wylie: bod pa, THL: bö pa) are an East Asian ethnic group native to Tibet. Their current population is estimated to be around 7.7 million. In addition to the majority living in the Tibet Autonomous Region of China,

#Tibetans generally observe Tibetan Buddhism or a collection of native traditions known as Bön (also absorbed into mainstream Tibetan Buddhism). There is a minority Tibetan Muslim population.

@MAKS23 They can be, if they will:
1) Respect the human rights and self-determination of #tibetans , #uyghurs Taiwanese and others.
2) Respect international law regarding the land and maritime borders of neighbouring countries.
3) Stop sponsoring #Iran , ruzzia, North Korea and the #Myanmar junta.

Governments identify dozens of #Android #apps bundled with #spyware
#BadBazaar and #Moonshine, which have been previously analyzed by cybersecurity firms and digital rights nonprofit #CitizenLab, were used to target #Uyghurs, #Tibetans, and #Taiwanese communities. These two spywares hid inside legitimate-looking apps, acting essentially as “trojan” #malware, with #surveillance capabilities such as access the phone’s cameras, microphone, chats, photos, and location data.

#TNI #TransnationalInstitute is a group that mostly releases great reports, analysis, etc, on #techgiants, #capitalism #resourcecolonialism #labor etc

But when it comes to #China, they'll somehow willingly publish pro-CCP propaganda-lite, factually dubious BS like this, romanticizing the #Mao era, regurgitating South-South solidarity talk points & of course, ignoring the #CCP's glaring similarities to Israel in its treatment of #Uyghurs #Tibetans & #HongKongers

In the past year, nearly everytime I've directly spoken with or talked to oppressed peoples whether they be #Tibetans #Uyghurs #Palestinians or #WestPapuans, they are so polite, friendly, and considerate, and always thank me profusely for even caring about them and their cause.

It makes me so sad.

Totally agree with most criticism of #Israel and its atrocities in #gaza #Palestine

But when people say "no other country would get away with it" I wonder

Do they not know about what #Indonesia did to #EastTimor? What #India is doing to #Kashmir? What #China is doing to the #Uyghurs & #Tibetans? What #Russia did to #Chechnya?

We can debate intensity, impact, scale of atrocities, etc, but the idea that only Israel is getting away with committing crimes against humanity is naive ignorance.

#ChineseGovernment says #relocations are poverty alleviation measures & new locations are ecologically sound, so that affected #Tibetans can improve their livelihoods by relocating, Pearson said.

“But in reality, that hasn’t been the case because many of the people are #pastoralists, and they live off the land, but when they move to more urban-like areas, the work options are different & they would need to speak #Chinese rather than Tibetan,” she added

@mekkaokereke There's plenty of criticism (& I've done it) of the US and our terrible history, racial injustices, and anti-#labor laws. But I fail to understand how ignoring genocide in China, or downplaying crimes against #Uyghurs and #Tibetans, helps?

Tesla, btw, is an ideal partner for #China, in many ways (just as Twitter is becoming a venue for Chinese misinformation). #Tesla & Chinese carmakers are the worst when it comes to sourcing & labor

As for prison labor - https://uhrp.org/insights/uhrp-analysis-finds-1-in-26-uyghurs-imprisoned-in-region-with-worlds-highest-prison-rate/

I meet, in Japan, many people who care about #Ukraine but not #palestine.

Among too many Asian so-called "leftists," those are care about #Gaza but not Ukraine.

And, sadly, people everyone who care about either of those situations, but don't care about #Papuans #Uyghurs #Tibetans #Kashmiris or others facing oppression in Asia.

`Although this genocopy of relatively lower hematocrit in Andean #highlanders parallels well-replicated findings in #Tibetans, it likely involves distinct pathway responses based on a protein-coding versus noncoding variants, respectively. These findings illuminate how unique variants at EPAS1 contribute to the same #phenotype in Tibetans and a subset of Andean highlanders despite distinct #evolutionary trajectories.`

#Imperial #Britain brought #Lhasa into worldview when #TibetFrontierCommission accidentally triggered a #British attack on #Tibetans.

The legacy of this invasion transformed #Chinese attitudes towards #Tibet. No longer could it be regarded as a loosely controlled #protectorate. Through chaotic decades that followed collapse of the #Qing Dynasty, Tibet enjoyed de facto independence. But in 1950 the #RedArmy rolled in to "liberate" it

Many issues with this @TheConversationClimate piece on #China #Climate and #COP28

- No mention of #Uyghur forced labor in solar supply chains (aka source of "cheap solar")
- Ignores the fact that the massive solar/wind expansion plans are on ethnic minority land (#Uyghurs #Tibetans #Mongols). No #justtransition?
- Reiterates dangerous claims that authoritarian governments are "efficient" and rational.
