I know he was replying to some chud, but this isn’t what I’d call a gotcha.

    Before China’s intervention, Tibet was ruled by a theocratic regime with a rigid caste system with “untouchables,” feudal serfdom, extreme poverty, and human rights abuses. The average life expectancy before China was about 35. And at most it was only ever a de facto state that emerged during the chaos of early 20th century China (along with a host of warlord states), and was never recognized internationally.

    The problem with “Free Tibet” is that China already did.
