  • Tibetans had things well under control before 1949 and in Lhasa many days a year were spent having religious festivals.

    An army of thieves called the People's "Liberation" Army began invading the country of Tibet in late 1949. The communists trucked all Tibet's gold and silver statues to Beijing where they set up 5 different foundries just for the purpose of melting down the artefacts.

    More than 6000 monasteries responsible for education in Tibet were wrecked.

  • Education for Tibetans in Tibet is a joke and has been for decades.

    My whole family apart from my parents, my brother and I live in China and we go back for at least a month every year. NONE OF US have ever felt like slaves. Tibetans get MORE BENEFITS than over 90% of the population. If we're not slaves, how can they be slaves?

  • @HumanRightsVideosT

    Yes I have met falun gong praticioners and they were CELEBRATING about the devastating sichuan earthquake, saying that it was karma and that they used their 'magical powers' to detect the earthquake beforehand. If thats not a screwed up cult in your definition, I can only say 99% of the Chinese people disagree with you.

  • @HumanRightsVideosT

    Melvyn Goldstein, widely renowned as the leading tibetologist in the world, wrote a book about pre1559 tibet. Another source would be the historian Micheal Parenti, whose videos you can find on. youtube as well as israel epstein, a tom grumfeld and countless other sources. Not EVERYONE is brainwased by western media as you are.

  • @ tahenhao

    1. Have you met any Falun Gong practitioners ?

    2. A cult tends to imply a group where the leader has power over them. That's not the case with Falun Gong.

    3. Can you find a source for slaves in Tibet before the invasion ?

    4. Tibetans and Chinese are Slaves of the CCP now.

  • @ tahenhao

    The CCP is anti China. For instance Mao killed all the intellectuals.

    .

    Falun Gong just want to be left alone in China to practice Truth, Compassion and Tolerance, without being slandered by the LYING CCP.

  • @ tahenhao

    If you want a comprehensive source of information about Tibet before the invasion began in 1949-50 please read

    FROM DARKNESS TO DAWN Jamyang Norbu

    @ phayul. com/news/article. aspx?id=24749&t=1 (remove 2 spaces)

    .

    or for a quick summary...

    The death penalty was abolished in Tibet in 1913 and punishments in Tibet were seen as soft after that until the illegal invasion of the independent country of Tibet began in 1949.

    The Regime of China is a cult. Mao is still on the banknotes.

  • @HumanRightsVideosT

    What rubbish is this? Even pro-tibetan independence historians readily admit to the fact that tibet's society was a society devoid of human rights where most were serfs and slaves.

    There's nothing wrong with falun gong excercises. That has nothing to do with political protests against china. They are a cult.

  • @ tahenhao

    There were peasant farmers in Tibet in 1948 rather than serfs or slaves.

    .

    Falun Gong has spread to more than 100 countries because it is very good for you.

    Have you tried the Falun Gong exercises ?

  • @HumanRightsVideosT

    Before 1959, EVERY family had to send one of their sons to be become a monk. 80% of the people were serfs or slaves, 15% were monks, and all the wealth and power went to the other 5%. But of course you wouldn't know that, would you?

    The falun gong is a SHAME to chinese society. I believe AT LEAST 95% of Chinese people would agree with me on that.
