No, that is not the funniest part
This is:
Tibetan "Government in Exile" spreading fake news.
Directly contradicting himself 2 paragraphs later
Other fun facts
Basically advocating a "Keep them poor and dumb to control them" strategy. Imagine someone advocating not learning English in the United States. Totally lacking common sense.
What's the reality of Tibetans in India?
Whoops!
Probably this was true 20 years ago. However, today it's not the same. It is obvious even from the article
Maybe the Great Firewall is so powerful as to have real-time voice monitoring, analysis and censorship in Tibetan language over international cell networks. If that's the case then all the western nations are totally correct to cut off Huawei, that's really advanced.
Democracy of India - Tibetans second-class people without citizenship, going into 2nd rate schools without formal government funding
Oppression of CCP - Full national status, nationally funded schools, pathway to university

Lieutenant General
Schrodinger’s China, keeping Tibetans hostage inside China and driving them out of China all at the same time; while managing to increase the ethnic Tibetan population through genocide; and using forced sterilisations and rape to try to solve China’s demographics collapse.
Let’s blame China for absolutely everything, what could go wrong?
These guys are literally a parody of themselves.
The enemy is at the same time too strong and too weak.
US imposes sanctions against China over abuse of Uygurs
- It is targeting China’s Academy of Military Medical Sciences and its 11 research institutes that focus on using biotechnology to support the Chinese military
- The Treasury Department is also set to issue penalties against several Chinese entities
The Biden administration said on Thursday it is imposing new sanctions on several Chinese biotech and surveillance companies and government entities for actions in province, the latest step against Beijing over human rights abuses of Uygur Muslims in the country’s Western region.
The Biden administration said on Thursday it is imposing new sanctions on several Chinese biotech and surveillance companies and government entities for actions in province, the latest step against Beijing over human rights abuses of Uygur Muslims in the country’s Western region.
The Commerce Department is targeting China’s Academy of Military Medical Sciences and its 11 research institutes that focus on using biotechnology to support the Chinese military.
The move will bar American companies from selling components to the entities without a licence.
“The scientific pursuit of biotechnology and medical innovation can save lives. Unfortunately, the PRC (People’s Republic of China) is choosing to use these technologies to pursue control over its people and its repression of members of ethnic and religious minority groups,” Commerce Secretary Gina Raimondo said in a statement.
“We cannot allow US commodities, technologies, and software that support medical science and bio-technical innovation to be diverted toward uses contrary to US national security.”
The Treasury Department is also set to issue penalties against several Chinese entities, according to a senior administration official who spoke on the condition of anonymity to discuss the soon-to-be-announced moves.
The official, explaining the Commerce Department actions, noted that US intelligence has established that Beijing has set up a high tech surveillance system across that uses biometric facial recognition and has collected DNA samples from all residents, ages 12 to 65, in part of a systematic effort to suppress Uygurs.
The White House announced last week it would stage a diplomatic boycott of the upcoming Winter Olympics in Beijing, citing China’s “egregious human rights abuses and atrocities in Xinjiang”.
US athletes will continue to compete but Biden will not send the usual contingent of dignitaries.
The administration also said this week that it supported bipartisan legislation that bans imports into the US from Xinjiang unless companies can demonstrate the goods were not produced by forced labour.
China has denied any abuses and says the steps it has taken are necessary to combat terrorism and a separatist movement.
