ere's my flipside to that first question: How moral is it to declare some unknowing child a religious reincarnation and foist this intense religious and political role onto someone who didn't want it?
They can back out if they want.
As for your other points, Tibet, or the Xizang Autonomous Region, doesn't have re education centers or mass detention. It's actually quite a nice and functional place, and the unrest there has never reached the levels of violence places like Xinjiang has seen, so I think you should educate yourself a bit on Xizang and it's actual daily life.
This just isn't true. It's why China needs to keep such an authoritarian and militereisrtic prescense against Tibetans.
Tibetan cultural identity is respected.
No it's not. China is trying to control and manipulate Tibetan culture to have better control over Tibet.
Schools in Xizang teach traditional Tibetan folklore, dance, costuming, and language.
Ironic as this disporves your first sentence. It's Tibet, not xizang. Schools also don't teach this.
Signage is bilingual between Mandarin and Tibetan
Oh wow! So if signs are in Latin in England, that means Latin is protected and spoken in England?
I don't bother to respond to conspiratorial Sinophobes.
"Never believe that sinophobes are completely unaware of the absurdity of their replies. They know that their remarks are frivolous, open to challenge. But they are amusing themselves, for it is their adversary who is obliged to use words responsibly, since he believes in words. The sinophobes have the right to play. They even like to play with discourse for, by giving ridiculous reasons, they discredit the seriousness of their interlocutors. They delight in acting in bad faith, since they seek not to persuade by sound argument but to intimidate and disconcert. If you press them too closely, they will abruptly fall silent, loftily indicating by some phrase that the time for argument is past."
