If China actually cared about the people. Rather than forcing the monastery closed and them to abandon their religion/culture. They would simply offer to relocate them away from the monastery if they feared for their children.
Without children and followers to harness. The religion would die on its own. Even as the general culture would endure. China explicitly does not want that. China specifically is trying to oppress and eradicate cultural differences.
People are 100% Justified to call China out on this. And in doing so are not defending all of tibet’s actions. Two things can be wrong at the same time. All sides can be wrong at the same time. This is one of those cases. There is no defense of China or Tibet here. China is not doing this out of some goodness of their heart or humanitarian need. Simply their own selfish goals.
So you are saying that instead of closing the monastery, they should relocate the towns!
Are you aware how much people are against being relocated?
Also that’s like punishing the victim instead of the villain.
