Wow, just playing the “what atrocities did we commit that we can project onto China” game, huh?
In Tibet, Tibetans learn their native language and use it in all grade levels through university. Compare that in the US where indigenous langauges were made extinct by beating children who spoke it and now many of them are either completely lost or only spoken by a dozen or fewer elders who are all over 70.
How is it that the US beat native children for speaking their language? Well they kidnapped them of course and put them in assimilation schools where they were tortured, raped, beaten, and killed in droves. They even held children hostage as part of the process of Westward expansion. By holding children hostage they could control tribal leadership. This is documented discourse in American leadership. Systematized assimilation and mass murder of children that people are stil suffering from today.
Meanwhile in China there are 57 ethnicities that are all thriving and a handful of autonomous zones that are explicitly and by law anti-assimilationist. The autonomous zones maintain their cultural practices, their languages, their religions, and they do not need to assimilate into Han Chinese culture.
The US has no standing from which to levy this criticism. If anything, it’s China that is showing the world how to build a multi-ethnic nation without assimilation. The US needs to start dealing with it’s active ongoing 600-year long genocide of native peoples before it gets to make shit up about China’s behaviors that are contradicted by basic observation.
It wasn’t even 4 years ago the US was putting toddlers in solitary confinement, an extreme form of torture even for fully developed adults, but a devastatingly cruel and permanently traumatizing experience for children.
