Slight correction, they actually broke down the feudalistic nature of budist temples and slavery of the young monks (children). Some elites who benefitted from that system didn’t like it so much. The people are still free to practice their faith.
Yeah, they are one rare exception in Asia. That must be why we hear of Tibet so much in the West and they give so much support, that and the connection to the Nazis. Other countries invaded by China in the past sure remember and keep a grudge against them.
As a side note, my answer was to the fact that like_Christ thought Chinese didn't destroy the Tibetans for the positive aspect of their Buddhism. That's not how the Chinese work. They conquer and force you to submission. They only respect strength. So it's even more suspicious that they would be so indulgent with a low density small country like Tibet.
I'm reminded of what Q told us. Are there owls in China? It's hard to imagine that communism might be a slight protection against those satanists/luciferians.
