@tenzinkalden9073 "It would depend on your definition of oppression"
Freedom to live their lives and do what they want as long as its within the laws?
"Because of the police state China has created, it is nearly impossible to get an actual account of what ordinary Tibetans experience"
I wouldnt consider Tibet a "police state". Xinjiang on the other hand would be. Also, from the various vlogs of visitors in Tibet of locals, it honestly looks fine.
"But we do know that recently large percentages of monasteries were destroyed"
I know that PRC destroyed a lot of religious sites in the past throughout the whole country, not just in Tibet. But recently? Im all for facts, do you have a source to that claim?
"We do know the names of the hundreds of Tibetans that have self immolated themselves in recent years"
I dont know about you, but to people around the world dont care about names of people that choose to suicide. So that comment is irrelevant.
"Additionally, the appointment of a false Panchen Lama, after they kidnapped the rightful claimant, proves to many people outside of Tibet that there is religious oppression"
That is not recent though? And all these are due to politics, not because of religion. They just happen to coincide.
"and they are attempting to destroy the Tibetan identity"
I disagree with that. If anything theyre trying to preserve all ethnic minority customs within their borders. What they want to destroy are the roots of separatist movements - which is a fair action for any country.
