Beijing uses oppressed blacks to justify oppressing Tibetans

The following reason given by China to continue to occupy Tibet is certainly an original way to see the world. In this reasoning, Israel could claim (and some Zionists do) that Israel is a far more benign occupier than the Egyptians and Jordanians and should therefore hold onto occupied land indefinitely:

The Chinese government had a special message for President Obama on Thursday: He is black, he admires Abraham Lincoln, so he, of all people, should sympathize with Beijing’s effort to prevent Tibet from seceding and sliding back into what it was before its liberation by Chinese troops: a feudalistic, slaveholding society headed by the Dalai Lama.

“He is a black president, and he understands the slavery abolition movement and Lincoln’s major significance for that movement,” Qin Gang, a Foreign Ministry spokesman, said at a news conference.

Mr. Qin added: “Thus, on this issue we hope that President Obama, more than any other foreign leader, can better, more deeply grasp China’s stance on protecting national sovereignty and territorial integrity.”

  • Unfortunately that is exactly what the regime under the Dalai Lama feudal system was; oppressive slavery.

    Israel would have quite a time claiming that their system of Jewish Apartheid was a remotely similar situation.

    I opposed Israeli Jewish Apartheid, and I opposed Tibetan Feudal Nationalistic Religious Fundamentalist slavery; hardly a contradiction at all.

    You believe that there is a contradiction because you still do not understand that Israel is an obnoxious and completely disgusting society, with few redemptive qualities

    China is merely a repressive and closed society in comparison.
