"Beijing has set quotas for the mass transfer of rural laborers within Tibet and to other parts of China, according to over a hundred state media reports, policy documents from government bureaus in Tibet and procurement requests released between 2016-2020 and reviewed by Reuters. The quota effort marks a rapid expansion of an initiative designed to provide loyal workers for Chinese industry.

A notice posted to the website of Tibet’s regional government website last month said over half a million people were trained as part of the project in the first seven months of 2020 - around 15% of the region’s population. Of this total, almost 50,000 have been transferred into jobs within Tibet, and several thousand have been sent to other parts of China. Many end up in low paid work, including textile manufacturing, construction and agriculture."

"The labor transfer policy mandates that pastoralists and farmers are to be subjected to centralized “military-style” (军旅式, junlüshi) vocational training, which aims to reform “backward thinking” and includes training in “work discipline,” law, and the Chinese language. Examples from the TAR’s Chamdo region indicate that the militarized training regimen is supervised by People’s Armed Police drill sergeants, and training photos published by state media show Tibetan trainees dressed in military fatigues (see accompanying images).

Poverty alleviation reports bluntly say that the state must “stop raising up lazy people.” Documents state that the “strict military-style management” of the vocational training process “strengthens the Tibetans’ weak work discipline” and reforms their “backward thinking.” Tibetans are to be transformed from “being unwilling to move” to becoming willing to participate, a process that requires “diluting the negative influence of religion.” This is aided by a worrisome new scheme that “encourages” Tibetans to hand over their land and herds to government-run cooperatives, turning them into wage laborers."

They're really trying to destroy Tibet's whole culture

F*** China

f*** china and f*** america

both as bad each other

f*** china but there’s not much we can do, it is what it is

the tankies when they start defending the CCP or north korea are no better then some patriotic c*** which thinks America is best country in the world even tho half country is a s***hole and don't even provide lots basic human rights

If there’s a will

inb4 they ask “what are we supposed to do?”

“This is fine”

Weird, usually someone comes in to blame Obama by now

the f***.

Can the UN even do anything except send "sanctions" or condemn it in a public statement and not even change the economics with which china profits off of most of the world with its products

only leverage I can see is retaliating economically but its like who even has the capability to do that during a pandemic when authoritarian governments are trying to get as much s*** off while they can

not being facetious but what can actually be done about this? feels like China is doing whatever they want right now without consequence

Tbh, not a whole lot right now. China refuses to allow any independent journalists/UN people in to see the extent of their program, they have a Security Council veto, and a lot of the countries the US pulled out of/no longer have influence are very financially dependent on China.

We have some targeted sanctions and general tariffs against some officials and companies in the region, but they're not really coordinated with a lot of US allies.

Shouldn't have withdrawn from the TPP either, even though it has its issues tbh

You want a country that forces black people to go to labor camps to go to war with a country that forces Tibetans and Uighurs to go to labor camps. that will end well...

no i f***ing don't

That's what I'm saying is this can't be solved as easily as someone invades and stops them and they won't listen to sanctions or any condemnation because this is continuing for years now and hasn't stopped even with outrage worldwide

I did word the post that u quoted badly so ima rephrase

same thing with the holocaust til we got attacked

?

It is what it is til they piss us off enough

Vice has a documentary about something similar but on a smaller scale with children. S***s crazy

When is the world gonna grow a pair and sanction China?

Or are we just gonna accept 'reality' and act like we can't do anything simply coz China produces cheap s*** and we can't live without cheap s***?

1. Many countries already sanction certain Chinese products and companies
2. It’s not about “growing a pair” much of the third world flat out doesn’t care if China is committing human rights abuses because they’re easier to work with than America

Well, I'm not talking about third world countries, I'm sure it won't affect China much if they sanctioned it.

I'm talking about top economies in the world, that would definitely affect China's economy...and banning acouple of products isnt gonna do s***.
