On this point the Chinese people and the American people have the same understanding – this is a human rights issue.
In turn, we freed the serfs in Tibet, how come American friends cannot understand this? From Lincoln’s perspective, he should have supported China’s overturning of the serfdom in Tibet.”
No matter that the Central Tibetan Administration, usually called the “Tibetan Government in Exile” has a starkly different view….This is really the crux of the issue between capitalism and socialism.
According to its proponents capitalism is the economic aspect of democracy and therefore integral to achieving freedom and human rights globally.
According to the proponents of socialism, the first step of liberation was freeing the slaves, the second step was freeing the serfs, and the third and final stage will be freeing workers from capitalists as the owners of the means of production.
It all depends on one's point of view.
