Before I go on, just to let everyone know. I am a Chinese Malaysian. Therefore, I am of Malaysian nationality, residing in Malaysia and have been in Malaysia for the past 3 generations. My loyalty is for Malaysia and not China and I have no direct relations to China whatsoever.
Sometimes things just hit people hard on the face without them realising it. All this talk and passionate screams to “Free Tibet” from China is being overrated.
Why is the Western world calling for Tibet’s freedom? Who started this in the first place? There are certain facts about Tibet that many “supporters of this cause” overlooked or even too ignorant to find out before jumping on the bandwagon supporting something they don’t even know it’s legitimacy.
Here are 2 solid facts about Tibet that supports Tibet is part of China.
Fact #1
Tibet has been under China since the Mongolian empire of the Yuan Dynasty since the 13th Century until this very day eight centuries (that’s 800 years for those who are unable to count centuries with their fingers) later. Tibet was under the Yuan (1271 - 1368), Ming (1368 - 1644) and Qing (1644 - 1911) dynasties, Republic of China (1911 - 1949) and the people’s Republic of China (1949 - present)
Fact #2
China is a multiracial/multicultural country, just like many other countries (just like Malaysia!) and not only consist of one race that many overlook as the Chinese. There are the Hans, Mongols, Manchus, Koreans even Muslims and not forgetting Tibetans. In total, there are 56 separate ethnic groups united under one country - China.
In my opinion, I see all these “Free Tibet” gimmicks is just to create problems in the upcoming Olympic Games for China. The timing of this is just undeniable.
All these human rights violations and robbery is just more gimmicks created by western world. Talking about human rights, more pressing human rights issues in the western world are almost totally unheard of as the western media almost NEVER cover any stories regarding the matter. Talk about neutrality. There’s no such thing!
Australia and the United States all have been oppressing their natives for too long but yet nothing has been done and no one stood up for them.
It’s time for Asians to rule their own countries and the western world to stay out of it. The west have oppressed us for too long since the Colonial and Imperial ages. It’s time that the west mind about their own business, buck up their own collapsing economies and focus on more pressing matters like ending the Iraq War.
If China is denying human rights in Tibet, then what is the Iraq War? Iraqis have been robbed of their rights ever since the war started and the best thing of all is, the western world endorses this war! How ironic!
A friendly message to “Free Tibet” supporters (or Human Rights activists for which both are to blame) - go read your history books before taking it to the streets on something that you have no idea whatsoever you are supporting. There are matters that are more pressing in your own countries that needs your immediate attention.
