Olaf Scholz will meet with China's head of state Xi Jinping on Tuesday. Tibetan sociologist Gyal Lo says China is about “absolute control,” says Lo.
Lo: "I believe Tibet is at a turning point: can our 4,700-year-old civilization survive or will it perish?" China says Tibetans' living standards have been improving for years, but Lo says it is primarily for the benefit of the Chinese who benefit from the development in Tibet.. The German Chancellor is traveling to China this weekend to address human rights in the country. The situation is particularly desolate in Tibet, says one activist. The Chinese government says parents voluntarily send their children to boarding schools and that Tibetan is taught there. That's a lie! The sad thing is: China is getting away with it. They simply repeat their lies until they become a truth. It has gotten to the point where children criticize their own parents if they don't speak Chinese. The children are separated from their families for a long time and eventually forget their native language.
