This is how China left the world without remembering Tibet - Personal Opinion

 

This is how China left the world without remembering Tibet.

Until relatively recently, the Chinese invasion of Tibet and the forced colonization of its territory by the Chinese was a scalding and fashionable subject on the media and in the circles of A-list celebrities. Today however there is no discussion about it, or the plight of the Tibetan people who now suffer a 67 year old brutal Chinese occupation. The question is why has no one forgotten about the occupation of Tibet, and the occupation of other countries in the world, such as Palestine, is now a very trendy and popular issue which is repeated by the media, UN and western governments? It is a simple answer, lots of money.

In 1950, China invaded Tibet and occupied it. Approximately one point two million of the one point two million Tibetans, or more than one-fifth of the pre-occupation population in Tibet, has been killed because of the Chinese occupation and the following repression policies in Tibet. In 1959, the Tibetans went on a rebellion against the oppressive Chinese Communist rule over their territories. After six days the uprising was suppressed by Chinese troops and the capital of Tibet Lhasa was taken back. Approximately 87,000 Tibetans were murdered, and around 100,000 fled as refugees and the 14th Dalai Lama was also forced to leave his country and escape to India. In Tibet, there are more than 3 million Tibetans who occupy Chinese-controlled Tibet and approximately 150,000 occupying exile.

Naturally no western government will take any action against Tibet nowadays, they are all fearful of offending China and ruining their trade ties with this country. As an illustration, China has a massive share of the US foreign debt (nearly 1.3 trillion) and the US goods and services trade with China amounted to a figure of an estimated 648.2 billion in 2016. Moreover, the trade between the EU and China has grown massively over the recent years. By far, China is the largest imported country of the EU which has also emerged as one of the fastest growing export markets of the EU. EU has also emerged to be the largest importing country of China. China and Europe are currently trading more than 1 billion a day. The economy of the world today is reliant on China and China is using the same to hush and erase any remnant and any memory of Tibet.

The Chinese have made the rest of the world realize that unless they wish to keep enjoying prosperous relations with China, the issue of Tibet cannot be brought up, or even brought to the fore.

This has seen the Tibetans being forced to burn themselves to draw the attention of any media to their plight. Even that does not touch the main stream media today that is completely overlooking and sweeping under the carpet the issue of occupation of Tibet.

The young generation within Tibet has been desperate and suicide has been the desperate protest. Similar to the Buddhist monks who had committed suicide in Vietnam, the earliest of these actions happened in India in 1998, although the strategy started to get serious in 2011. This has seen 110 Tibetans set themselves on fire since then as a protest.

On one hand, the same kind of cultural and literal genocide that was and is being affected on Tibetans against other minorities that are settled in China. The Uyghur people are experiencing the same type of cultural and actual genocide as the Tibetans did in the last several decades, and the Mongolians that reside in China are already targeted by the CCP and are likely to be the next targets of the CCP ethnic genocide list. The reality that the savage takeover of Tibet and the resultant unrelenting torture of the Tibetan people has been whitewashed off the record by western states and the media so as not to spoil the diplomatic and trade relations with China, has given China strength and indicated to the CCP that they can get away with everything.
