I don’t know who Peng Shui (Shuai) is but a brief search shows that she is a tennis player that disappeared? How the hell is he her saviour (also that feels really weird to say)? But yeah, his crimes were a lot more than “harassment,” I just couldn’t remember all that he did. He met the Dalai Lama? This world is not okay…
It makes sense that an apparently notable Australian reactionary troll would meet the Dalai Lama, a CIA asset who pines for the days he had hundreds of slaves.
Tbf and I'm not very knowledgeable about the history of this or anything, but I'm not certain the current dalai lama ever had "hundreds of slaves" at least as an adult. He was born in 1935 lol
He was 5 when he was named Dalai Lama and 25 when he fled to India after the Tibetan and Chinese people said enough to Tibetan serfdom. He was an adult, he was the leader of a nation, and he certainly had slaves at his disposal. Whether they were his personally or the property of the "crown," as it were, is immaterial. What is true is that only 5% of the inhabitants of Tibet were free people during its time as a religious theocracy, the rest serfs and slaves.
Here is an intro to the topic of Tibetan feudalism, although the author goes off onto a weird tirade against China at the end, the facts on Tibet are well sourced.
It's just interesting and a bit disappointing that Parenti could see the good of past revolutionary movements but was never able to see the good of current revolutionary movements, flawed and works in progress as they are.
Don't get me wrong, I'm not defending Tibet, I know how bad it was. I'm just saying that the current Dalai Lama didn't really have much agency in the matter and, at 88 years old, probably has almost no memory of the time when that system existed.
not disappeared but got in a scandal with high official whom she accused of sexually exploiting her. Its not very clear the relationship between the two. Because in her original weibo she accused the official taking advantage of her romantic feelings. Nevertheless due to these high profile accusations and western demonization of the whole "CCP is against women" took China by storm. Now this guy (Drew) went to every tennis tournament and waved the "Where is Peng Shuai T-shirt ?" , Also met Dalai and others . just imagine being an white Australian who has no other job than to question where is Peng Shui in China . With all these commotion and his activism Peng was forced to retire , she was lastly seen with Eileen Gu in Beijing Winter olympics.
Why is the internet acting like she died, more specifically that she was murdered by the government? And it was due to his actions that she retired, what a legacy to have…

TBF China circa 2003 is a lot easier to call capitalist roaders than China now.
That's a fair point.
