  1. Simon Jenner: what made u say that? How long have they been doing it? Where? What population stats do u hhave? I know info ist scarce. But it s common knowledge that ethnic chinese are exempt from the 1 child policy unlike the rest. Over 30 or 40 years that s got to make a big difference in relative population growth? And u say they ve been cleansing for a long time. Are they just not very good at it?

  2. Simon Jenner : yes. That natrative however fits any sizable country that includes multiple ethnic and cultural strands, historical and modern. The other side of that is the equally dangerous (as dangerous as Imperialism) concept of ethnic/cultural purity. We are constantly veering one way or the other depending on political expediency...the right thing to do is balance, IMHO. Coming back to the narrower topic of ethnic cleansing, do you know of any reliable demographic studies on tibetans and other major ethnic groups (e.g. uyghur or hui)? I dont like narratives as they are seductive and dangerous. But numbers provide some objective means of getting to the truth. But google search seems to bring out big growth in the last 60 odd years for these, as indeed for the Han Chinese themselves. But also accusations of fraud and politically tainted statistics! Any credible demographic studies u heard of by any chance?

  3. But the policies had not existed before the string of terrorist atrocities against civilians in China a few years ago. Now, curiously, uygur terrorist acts have stopped in China, following the implementation of the policies. Cause and effect. Cause and effect. Instead the copycat actions (trucks and passenger cars used as weapons against innocents, mass knife attacks) have cropped up in the West. Coincidence?

  4. Aud ience : do u habe any demographic data to back up your claims? Genuine question. See my earlier post. Ideologically based debate is pointless. Better to let data do the talking.

  5. Aud ience : just demographic stats. Population growth patterns etc. When i google the usual stats from China are disputed by u know who. So i m wondering if there r 3rd party studies. That s all. I m not one to take anti-China rhetoric at face value. The macro statistics over so many decades just dont bear the narratives out. But the Chinese governement doesn't Make it easy for people to disprove those narratives either...
