Serfdom in Old Xizang

For more:
news.cgtn.com/...
A film distorting history is set to premiere in the Netherlands. It glorifies the 1959 armed rebellion in Xizang while ignoring the brutal reality of the old feudal serfdom-darker and crueler than medieval Europe. History cannot be rewritten. The 14th Dalai Lama was the supreme figure of this oppressive system.

Tibetan people (Xizang) today never had it so good in the past ... It will only continue to be better in the future... 👍

[@ongsengfook]

Twist of fate. Now they are better off than their former masters who are stateless people.

[@thndrngest]

This is an important report.

[@ramie237]

It is.

[@RoseRose-gk6ku]

It's utmost lucky & fortunate that Chinese Xizang is under the best care, preservation & protection from PRC now. PRC is really 💯 gives beauty, prosperity & happiness to Chinese Xizang. 👍 👍 👍 👍 👍

When I was in my teens I had read Seven Years in Tibet and had a free Tibet flag on my wall. Only years later that I started to understand class structures and led me to look into the other side of this story and was horried by what I found. People in US have free access to all this information because they are aware that most people wont look because they make it feel tabboo and dispicable to think of trying to understand the full context. I hope more in the US see content like this that shakes their certainty in the narratives we are brought up with.

[@seanrowshandel1680]

What exactly is the "US narrative" on Xizang? How much could they possibly care about Xizang? You know, many loyal serfs fled to Nepal or went to Dharamsala. It's called "Political SCIENCE" because it's real. No matter how much any American thinks he is "against China" with regards to these events, we should expect American Adults to be working 24/7 to guide such a child and prevent him from being aggressive (even if that means isolating him from China). There is ALSO a "children vs adults framework" now. It sounds too obvious for anyone to need to write it down, but i guess i just did. So, what's next? Comparisons with analogous events in America's history? Why do you take this stuff so seriously? Maybe you have high blood pressure or something. Why can't even just one of you go to a doctor? You know, the weirdest thing is that Plymouth Rock wasn't even a colony, but they gained access to the colonies during the revolutionary chaos. You wouldn't be a very good cop or judge in China because you would be too harsh.

[@MarvinRoman]

@seanrowshandel1680 I don't know. I guess I just am against people owning others and treating them like animals. Don't know where you get the chill bro attitude when nothing I was saying was dramatic.

[@seanrowshandel1680]

@MarvinRoman if you were a young Chinese boy with that mentality, you would indubitably be expected to eventually reach a point where you're grown up enough to have all of the rights of an adult, and not be overly focused on nuking other countries. It doesn't really add up in your case. Pakistan and India have nukes, and even some of THEM appear to be adults (seeing as they never fired any). So it's truly a mystery what you're trying to do by bringing up these themes when introducing yourself to Chinese people, who already succeeded at tackling this problem in the best possible way. Do you remember what it said in the video about when Xizang was freed? It might potentially make the USSR not look very good. You know, beyond Khrushchev's physical "Bostonian" appearance being scary, it appears as though there were actual horrific things going on.

[@seanrowshandel1680]

@MarvinRoman and if you dare to allow Pakistanis and Indians seem "more like adults" than you or any other non-Pakistani and non-Indian person, you've got another thing coming lol. Mao prevented a war between china and them

[@MarvinRoman]

@seanrowshandel1680 I am actually confused, I am not sure we are understanding each other very well. I grew up in the US not in China and am trying to explain my misunderstanding of the situation growing up in the West. When I said there were horrifying things happening there I was referring to what was happening prior to liberation.

[@wsmithe2209]

You won't see that on CNN or foxnews.

[@siewpoh1319]

Or BBC, ABC, Al Jazeera…..in short, ALL western media🤔

[@Go_Home_British_Raj]

When President Xi visited Aotearoa he spoke of the material poverty he and others strove to overcome and we believe and see the awesome progress. This video stands to reason. Inescapable serfdom is inhuman. It would be right and strong to hear more from a range of our Tibetan sisters and brothers too, to understand their contextual view.

[@ingridyichen2631]

There are some worship tools used on display in some temples there including drums made of virgin skull skin😢😢it's said to be sacred. Religion does make people stay in blind

[@JWscandi]

indeed! "Religion is the opium of the people" - Karl Marx if this comment is NOT deleted, it's a jackpot!

[@ramonching7772]

The social structure looks very much like the Indian caste system. And the US is going in that direction.

[@CCCC-rc9ic]

Serfdom is stll very much alive today. It just rebranded into capitalism. And them told us "we will own nothing n be happy"

[@leponpon6935]

Precisely. The western style capitalist oligarchy is trying to bring back serfdom to enslave us all by another name, by forcing violence on us all and yet at the same time telling us "violence is not the answer".

[@aw954]

That's why every country should practice some policies of socialism to make up some drawbacks of capitalism.

[@4Comment0nly-vr1ut]

The popular mystique of Tibetan society is only a part of the reality. From caste-based feudalism to sexual grooming within the priesthood to lampshades made of human skin, there is a lot that had existed even into the modern era and only recently disappeared, which is little appreciated.

A minor correction: nirvana (निर्वाण) is usually translated as “涅槃” rather than “涅磐”.

[@denyuan4200]

Just like India now

[@Wothe-k1y]

比印度可怕，农奴在pla解放以不被奴隶主视为人类，他们会为了发泄挖掉奴隶的眼睛砍断他们的手脚，有些古老的法器使用奴隶的人皮和头骨制作，从生人身上剥离。这些都作为罪证陈列在博物馆里。流亡印度的哒赖喇嘛就是西藏奴隶制度的最高统治者。中国人不在乎印度，但印度政府令人恶心，为了地缘政治利益不在乎利用邪恶势力，在我看来，印度政府的统治一直都是反人类的，不在乎自己国度的公民。

If Tibetans are so happy in new Tibet, then why does China maintain a large army in Tibet ? Let the Tibetans leave the country, if they are happy they won’t leave. Why guard the border 24/7 and don’t allow ppl to visit Tibet, idiots ask these questions urselfs

[@Raphtalia-chan576]

people can visit tibet u dumb4ss, inform urself, and does china should not have troops in tibet when India cofines with them there, r u too smart? like, would USA just retreat the troops from the border with mexico? use ur brain then comment, if they apply for passport they can leave, if they dont want to, they dont, if u never seen a tibet outside of China that does not mean that they are not allowed to leave.
