    It's incredibly generous of you to think that libs dropped Tibet because of material reality not agreeing with their propaganda.

    More realistically, Xinjiang is the new hot thing because the State Dept saw the Al Qaeda off-shoots there as a useful tool for sabotaging the Belt and Road initiative and booming PV industry in the region. There's only so much fake tears you can squeeze out of a person and there's no point in diluting the message.

      Well, the Dalai Lama turning out to be a pedo probably didn't help the lib cause either.
