    The Dalai Lama was backed by the CIA, and the mode of production was feudalist, relying on slavery and torture. The US backed anti-PRC movements here to destabilize the region, but nevertheless since the PLA liberated Tibet the Xizang autonomous region has seen massive material improvements in key quality of life metrics.

      I cannot imagine what you might mean “the dalai lama was backed by the CIA”. I cannot but believe this is conspiracy theory or state propaganda. Besides, my knowledge about the PLA’s invasion was not isolated to the dalai lama.

      EDIT: I looked it up. Being backed in that sense makes no difference to what the PLA visited on the Tibetan people.

      P.S. I’m bowing out of this conversation. Good day to you
