I Have read all your links, but the questioning was regarding how bad China is doing overall to the true minorities. Infact you have to visit India today, sinces the poorest of the poorest has a cell phone to communicate. India is also doing the samethings that you have provided links too, which did not answer my question because you answer based on one example, which was providing a cell phone to minorities!! And so did I!!!!
Thanks!!
jeypore, buddy, I hope you have studied in an unbiased way and used your brain somehow before posting.
Can you please first define what is true minority and what is false minority?
Then tell us who are the true minorities and who are the false minorities in China? Is Tibetan a false minority as there is a huge population?
Thirdly, why dont you enumerate couple of bad policies from state level that
ONLY apply to the true minority but favorable to Han and other false minorities?
Let me guess what the bad things could be. Restrictions on religion? Same to Han. Restrictions of freedom of speech? Same to the Han. Internet blocking? The same to all. Starvation? Not any more in China. One child policy? Only applies to Han, but not the minorities. In fact, minorities enjoy a great deal of preferential policies.
One blatant example is two less and one leniency, i.e., for ethnic minority criminals, it should catch them less, sentence them less, and be more lenient to them. Some Chinese believe this reverse discrimination is precisely one of the causes of Xingjiang and Tibet riots.
In fact, to get the benefits of preferential policies, many Han classified their mainly Han children as non-Han. Decades ago, I met a student from mainland China whose child is only ¼ Mongol, which still can officially be Mongol by state policy, and he preferred to registered the child as Mongol.
Yes, in general higher percentage of minorities is living in bad condition. They do not enjoy the condition to compete with the rest of their Chinese brothers. But you cant say no Han not living in bad condition. In addition, many minorities live in naturally unfavorable places due to historical reasons (running away form wars, famines, etc.) for thousands of years. UN have designated numerous places mainly occupied by minorities as unfit for human beings to live. But where can they move? China is a place that has already tightly packed everywhere. If not to move them is a violation of human rights, to move them is also a violation of human rights. Give us your genius ideas.
Id say, on state level, there is no policy that are discriminating the minorities, regardless how true or false the minority is.
There are only reverse discrimination policies in China. On regional level, from ordinary people, yes, there are regional discriminations. People get discriminated due to their accents/life habits etc.; and perhaps racial discriminations. IMPO, guess perhaps the Uyghurs are the only big visible minority per western norm, but you can in general tell the Cantonese from some specific features as well
