Umm, that’s extremely easy to verify, isn’t it? I mean, well I don’t go to the VOA site, but all those programs will be available, right there.

Oh, wait, VOA is blocked, so the target audience will never be able to confirm this obvious lie.

Much like all the other obvious lies…

He probably said “minzuzhuyi”, and there is no controversy on the fact that Tibetans (and Uygurs) are a minzu. The problem is that the government admits and imposes another kind of nationalism, the one of the “zhonghua minzu” — an invented nationality/nation that is used to justify the dominance of the Han minzu and project their sense of racial superiority over the rest of the population.

RhZ, He also made a critical mistake: referring to the “nationalism” of a few bad apples, thus admitting that Tibet is a nation.

The VOA has now been implicated in encouraging young Tibetans to self-immolate, since many claim, after interrogation, they have heard the broadcasts of the self-immolations on the VOA.

The police chief forgot to mention the foreign elements. Just an oversight, I am sure, because there are *always* foreign elements involved in anything that isn’t going well in China.

So, repression –> self-immolations –> more repression.

Sure, that’s the fucking ticket, you geniuses.
