@vibuksi07 Repeating all these fables can't feed people who are without food and education. If you really want to war for your barbaric history of those exiled elites and leave the hungry without regard, nobody in the vast mainland population will give a shit about you. They know what you'll turn out to be when you rule - you'll war around neighbors and leave nobody in peace. Asian Americans see clearly what CIA is trying to stir in China. Asian Americans know military hijacked US govt as well.

Americans! Here you see violence in other countries and u think that those people should not be alive or they are animals, BUT your president/your country is worse, much worse. Your fucking president orders massmurder all the time and noone cares. WHY? cause money makes it owen job. fuckoffandgotohell !

@what77777 So...no Tibetans or Uyghurs want to keep their traditions? I call bs on that. Look, I think if you do a survey you'll find that most Tibetans and Uyghurs do not want independence from China, what they do want is the ability to live peacefully in the manner of their choosing. Actively encouraging people to give up their religion and culture (and in some cases requiring it) causes resentment. The Sudanese are trying the same thing in Darfur and South Sudan, look how that's going.

[what77777]

@rebeccaabdallah Darling, want to check who funds the World Uighur Congress and many other Uyghur and TIbetan separatist groups? The USA's National Endowment for Democracy, which gets its money from the American taxpayer and continues the activities that the CIA used to do covertly.

Educate yourself.
