This article treads the same old conniving, hackneyed ground that has long since been debunked by serious historians.
But it is always a ‘good’ read to knock anyone who dares defy Chinese communist hegemony of mind control and their nauseas “truth” dissemination.
Every single aspect of Tibetan society, its history, its culture, its language, its people, everything is being distorted, inversed, reinvented and used as a propaganda tool.
Tibetans have been systematically denigrated, from every conceivable angle, at every conceivable opportunity by their Han Chinese occupiers.
Hitler used it successfully in the 30s, with the Jews the hapless victims in this abominable scheme, and the CCP has turned it into an art form and convinced not only the most obtuse, but cowered politicians and the lesser academia into some servile, craven compliance.
In order to achieve this the CCP completely fabricated and reinvented Tibetan history, add on top their arrogance and delusions and a complete lack of any conscience, plus the most massive mind control and propaganda lies machinery plus intimidation and threat of economic repercussions if there is a mere mention of Han Chinese atrocities in the west.

Indeed, the Han Chinese Communist occupiers would want to have it both ways.
On the one hand they claim that they “owned” Tibet all along, controlled it, and was “part” of “china”, and on the other they claim it was “feudal, barbaric and backward”.

Some elucidation to this.

Why was this “barbarism” allowed to go on if they “owned, governed and controlled” it? In fact Tibet was nothing like this, a pure fabrication, aided and abetted by such infamous hacks as AL Strong, I Epstein, S& R Gelder, AT Grunfeld and more recently Parenti, Nebe etc., all of which had Machiavellian ulterior motives for their mendacious distortion of the historical facts.
Plus a whole bevy of western sycophants, who, in order to protect their jobs, careers and access to China and the worlds biggest ‘market’ have been cowered into selling academic rigor, honesty and truth for duplicitous expediency, and instead crawl the ccp line for fear of offending this cabal and jeopardising their chummy ties with this regime.
The reality is that Tibet was no worse at the time than its neighbours and particularly china, which has an appalling record of human rights. And today, in the 21st century no less is practicing policies of institutionalised torture, discrimination and disenfranchisement of the Tibetan people on a scale unimaginable.
In fact the whole Tibetan nation has been enslaved under the Han Chinese tyranny.

Discrimination on every level, but then having the temerity to send out Propaganda Lies soldiers with concocted stories of “privileges” for the Tibetan people – problem is that if you try and verify all these propaganda lies on the spot in Tibet you’re met with menacing intimidation, instant expulsion, or jail, being charged with spying and infringements of state secrets!
State secrets indeed; for the official line bears no semblance to the stark reality Tibetan people face every day under Han Chinese occupation.

Thanks for adding to the dialogue, cardano. I think it's dangerous to jump to any conclusions either way, and digging into the complex subject is a good thing.
