> A notice posted to the website of Tibet’s regional government website last month said over half a million people were trained as part of the project in the first seven months of 2020 - around 15% of the region’s population. Of this total, almost 50,000 have been transferred into jobs within Tibet, and several thousand have been sent to other parts of China. Many end up in low paid work, including textile manufacturing, construction and agriculture.

I guess this is what actual 'oppression' looks like.




There isn't just one type of oppression, so saying stuff like "actual" oppression does nothing but to disparage other types of oppression.


What do you mean by "actual 'oppression'" ?


Their nomadic lifestyle is probably a lot less stressful than wage labor in a city. That's why they don't want to, and the oppression is forcing them to.
