See how Chinese regimes systematically destroy other cultures and nations



Everyone in Taiwan should watch the movie, Tibet in Song, to see an example of how the brutal Chinese regime in China would seek to eliminate Taiwan's identity if it were to get control of Taiwan. Also, this movie serves as a good reminder of how the Chinese Nationalist Party regime in Taiwan has attempted to obliterate Austronesian culture in Taiwan.

Note how beautiful, rich, and deep the Tibetan folk song and dance is compared to the shallow, trashy Chinese Communist music that was imposed on the Tibetans in an attempt to replace their music. Authoritarian communist regimes have no regard for beauty, but seek to rapaciously use and distort any cultural element for propaganda.

This documentary, Tibet in Song, was filmed by Ngawang Choephel, a former political prisoner. In addition to assessing cultural degradation in Tibet, it captures the bald-faced schemes of China's government to destroy Tibetan identity and create a fictional Tibetan identity as a gateway to total replacement with the worst of Chinese Communist culture.

P.S. You can get this movie from Netflix.



Meanwhile in recent news, China has detained hundreds of Tibetans, who simply went to India to get training from the Dalai Lama.



If you are in the San Diego area, you might get a chance to see the Dalai Lama in April.
