China causing US troops to commit suicide.
How? Is it because the US troops that are based overseas don't have Haliburton cooking and cleaning for them so they have to do it themselves...?
I protest this heinous attempt by this no good journalistic hack at painting brave US servicemen as insecure snow flakes who’d off themselves over intangible Chinese pressure.
The logic of mainstream medias is deteriorating to the point is really ridiculous ..... very very sad
So the US leaders decided that China is enemy no.1. Then the media cheerlead the American leaders. All of them want more confrontations with China. The soldiers, who have no say in this suffered terribly as a result. Hence they commit suicide. And this is China's fault? If this is China's fault, then shouldn't politicians, generals, journalists, and China haters too be commiting suicide because they have to be super busy now?
The average US soldier had to go on extended deployments on short notice. Personal lives have been ruined. And this is peace time deployment!
I bet all those politicians and flag-waving warmongers couldn't care less about what soldiers actually go through. They should be the ones spending time on deployment. I would personally like to see Steve Bannon, Gordon Chang, and others spend time deployed overseas for 8 months at a time. On short notice. I would love to see the look on their faces after just one deployment. If only that could happen.
The empire is overextending itself, rome all over again, when your soldiers morale are this low good luck fighting the PLA on their own turf
OMG! I can't believe U.S. is so desperate now it's blaming it's suicide rate of it's soldiers on China.
FFS one easy solution. Stop sending your troops the world over and stay at home and mind your own fxxking business.
This people has overactive imagination. Being discrete does not mean insecure of China hold on Tibet. It is probably has more to do with security of Xi entourage. The fact is the flow of refugee to India is now down to a trickle 100 person for the whole year. Tibetan school in dharmsala is now closing down because lack of student. The Tibetan expat in India is dwindling because of discrimination, poor economic opportunity due to lack of citizenship. Meanwhile in Tibet they enjoy economic boom in the last decade and more and more younger Tibetan went thru Chinese school system and increasingly identify themselves as Chinese first with improve housing, social welfare, opportunity
So basically CCP has won the heart and mind of Tibetan Here is it Xi visit Nyingchi and take the train ride of the new line
Chinese President Xi Jinping began an inspection tour in southwest China's Tibet Autonomous Region on Wednesday. Xi arrived in the city of Nyingchi on Wednesday morning and took a train to Lhasa, the capital of Tibet, on Thursday.
Here he visit Lhasa
Dedicated Tibetan teacher
Come on. Why are we taking an article from the Economist seriously? As I've said here many a time. The economists is a trash paper. My tutor at university won't recommend to us economics students as reading source. And now I tell my students not to read it as well.
But since you put it up on here. I have to read it (lol) and gee. What a piece of trash
Here's a quote from it:
"In this accord, a
young Dalai Lama—at the time Tibet’s political as well as spiritual leader—
ceded sovereignty over Tibet to China, in return for a promise of autonomy.
But the agreement, never honoured by China, and negotiated with the Dalai Lama, whom China constantly vilifies, is not mentioned in most official Chinese accounts of Mr Xi’s visit to Tibet.
Similarly, China does not make much of a fuss over a rather similar treaty, a joint declaration on the future of Hong Kong, that it signed with Britain in 1984."
As you can see from the above extract where the writer is trying to lead the readers to think. And in trying to do so, it is very economical with the truth.
A "
young Dalai Lama". This suggest he was naive and was conned into agreeing any thing with China.
"ceded sovereignty over Tibet to China, in return for a promise of autonomy.
But the agreement, never honoured by China, and negotiated with the Dalai Lama,"
Not entirely untruth, but very economical with the truth. Having autonomy doesn't mean one can act outside the law. And by having foreign agents ie: CIA with your advisors is definately outside the law. Also having a system of serfdom is also outside the law, when all men and women are supposed to be free.
It's funny, the economists doesn't bother to mention these.
"Similarly, China does not make much of a fuss over a rather similar treaty, a joint declaration on the future of Hong Kong, that it signed with Britain in 1984."
And lastly, and typically to make a greater impression upon their readers, let's mention Hong Kong as well. Because we all know how those brave Hong Kong students are fighting for their freedom and democracy. Right?
That, my friend is why the Economist is not even good for wiping my arse on.
