Where do you get your information on Tibet?

Here are some alternative sources:

Tibetan School Falls to China’s Legal Pressure (October 2024) -- (Archived)

A 2010 cultural assimilation policy mandates that all schools in Tibet use Chinese as the primary language, starting from kindergarten. [...] “The Chinese government is closing monasteries and Tibetan schools as part of a broader strategy to eradicate Tibetan language and culture.” [...] Private schools are especially targeted in “patriotic education campaigns,” making language instruction harder to monitor. Eight of the remaining 16 private Tibetan schools have been ordered to close, while the rest face allegations and administrative pressure.

Tibet boarding schools: China accused of trying to silence language (March 2024)

Over recent years, the Chinese government has closed village schools - and private ones teaching Tibetan - and expanded the use of boarding schools. These have been in operation for many decades in a number of Chinese regions that are thinly populated - but in Tibetan areas, they appear to have become the main means of education. [...] [Experts] say this kind of schooling creates psychological trauma for children who are forcibly separated from their families, who are pressured to send their children away. "The most challenging aspect of my life was missing my family," said one Tibetan teenager, who attended a boarding school for several years, until she was 10.

China shows off a Tibetan boarding school that’s part of a system some see as forced assimilation (October 2023) -- (Archived)

China has shuttered village schools across Tibet and replaced them with centralized boarding schools over the last dozen years. Many students come from remote farming villages and live at the schools. The practice is not limited to the region [...] Activists estimate 1 million Tibetan children study at such boarding schools, though the number is difficult to confirm. They say the schools are part of a broader strategy to dilute Tibetan identity and assimilate Tibetans into the majority Chinese culture.

If you still don't trust one of these sources, feel free to find others. It's easy, they are all across the web.

This is Springer media.

Back in July this year, the chairman of US carmaker Ford in Germany insists on the end for combustion engines in the EU.

I only found an article in German, here is a summary in English:

The chairman of the supervisory board of the US-based car manufacturer Ford in Germany, Gunnar Herrmann, stronlgy warned against a reversal of the planned end of sales for new cars with combustion engine in 2035 in the EU. "If you believe in prosperity, growth and the future, then leave the goals as they are," Herrmann told the "Bild" newspaper. Otherwise, the automotive industry location of Germany as a whole is also at risk.

Those who still demanded a change in the intended drive to electric cars proved above all that they "have no strategy" and "now pray to the good God that they can continue the old stuff", said Herrmann. Anyone who wants to stop the development would endanger the site, because "then the cars will come from China".

Das frage ich mich auch. Touristen, die neben dem Flugplatz spazierengehen, werden sofort kontrolliert (was ich in diesem Fall vollkommen in Ordnung finde). Und dann sowas? Ich verstehe das auch nicht.

TikTok Has Pushed Chinese Propaganda Ads To Millions Across Europe -- ( July 2024, updated September 2024)

According to TikTok's newly public advertising library, ads from China’s largest state media outlets touting everything from China Covid lockdowns to tourism in the troubled Xinjiang region have been broadcast to millions of the platform's European users.

TikTok Ads Paid for by Chinese Media Target European Users -- (August 2023)

Chinese media sponsored over a thousand ads on TikTok targeting European audiences. Additionally, accounts that carefully obscure their connections to China may pose further risks in coordinated information manipulation campaigns.

This are just two examples, there is much more across the web.

This is very good. We need more of this 'grassroots media'.

I am not sure whether I understand your comment. Don't you want opinionated articles to be flagged as 'opinion'? I thought it's a good idea as it is not a typical news article. Just let me know.

So many removed comments…

It seems the removed comments are from always the same few users ...

There are 10,000 foreigners wrongfully detained in the Chinese Communist Party's Prison System, and they come from across the globe ...

It's real ...

Forced organ harvesting and transplant tourism -- (May 2024)

China’s new Regulation on Donation and Transplantation of Human Organs takes effect May 1, 2024 [...] However, experts suggest the regulatory change will not lead to transparency, bring an end to China’s transplant tourism business, or protect prisoners of conscience and ethnic groups from crimes in organ transplantation, including forced organ harvesting.

Whataboutism: the act or practice of responding to an accusation of wrongdoing by claiming that an offense committed by another is similar or worse. Called also (chiefly British) whataboutery.

China is indeed doing that all over the world. In May this year, for example, the Chinese ambassador to Japan said that "Japanese people would be dragged into the fire" if they support Taiwan independence, while China's ambassador to Australia said in January that Australia would be “pushed over the edge of an abyss” if they support Taiwan's independence.

If such coercive tactics are criticized, the response is often blatant whataboutism.

I guess this is just an introduction into the story, but I also feel it is a bit too long. A sentence or two would have been sufficient.

What should Hungarians do to prevent a further drift into dictatorship? Sitting at home and watching propaganda TV?
