Tibetan sources who spoke to Radio Free Asia linked the closures to the Chinese government’s education policies and its promotion of the Ethnic Unity and Progress Law, which took effect on July 1, 2026. They said the shutdowns could further limit opportunities for Tibetan children to learn their mother tongue and cultural traditions.

      China, since the revolution, has been lifting up the proletariat of various nations and investing in infrastructure and technologies. There is no debt trapping, those stories have been thoroughly debunked by world economists for decades now.

      The United States, on the other hand, has been using economic warfare since inception.

        “Communist” China, the country with the fastest growing population of billionaires and rapidly growing wealth inequality while the proletariat toil away in terrible working conditions. Slavery with extra steps.

          You would benefit from studying historical materialism. You wouldn’t say such silly things if you had the education.

          China has billionaires and private equity under state capitalism, a perfectly normal component of any state transitioning out of capitalism. The bourgeoisie in China have no political sway, are subject to so many regulations it would make your head spin, and actually pay taxes. If a billionaire in China betrays rhe working class they get executed.

          To say that China has the “fastest growing population of billionaires” but to not recognize what being a billionaire means under socialist states with working-class parties running their government is to be dishonest intentionally. Saying China isn’t socialist because of billionaires is a very silly stance.

          As for terrible working conditions, you just made that up. Because you’re weak. China is a nation of 1.5 billion people with strong workers rights. Your sinophpbia doesn’t matter when we are looking at the material, historical record of the economics of China.
