    I kept it short because I considered it obvious and didn’t want to write something longer.

    I know enough of what the PLA did to the Buddhist people and culture in Tibet, and I don’t hear this predominantly from western sources. Similar for their treatment of Uyghurs, though I think most of my news on that probably is Western.

    That’s interesting to hear about the BRI, I will bear it in mind, but will need to verify.

      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.
