    Am I in r/sino?

    Eradicating one culture deemed medieval and feudalistic and replacing it with a ethnosupremacist form of feudalist capitalism disguised in a pseudo-Maoist wrapper… Standard fare in the Pooh World where what the Hans are doing is “liberation”. Not only that, the Tibetan plateau is like a smorgasbord for Mainlander corporations looking for rare-earth resources, so there comes the program of forced assimilation which is no more different from banishing all Palestinians from their lands.

    (BTW, Israel sold to China some several key technologies, including early-warning radar.)

      Mao was actually less brutal to ethnic minorities than the post-Mao CCP has been.
