    Would that be worth taking away his autonomy and will without consent?

    Make all the misguided excuses you want for what China is doing. It won’t make it right. It was wrong when the United States did it to my family. And it is wrong when China is doing it now.

    If China wants to help them. Then offer them opportunity and choice. If the opportunities and choice are better. Their culture will adapt and change to it. Forcing eradication of their culture through violence will only breed resentment and grievance.

      Wow congratulations, first real argument in any response I’ve received until now.
      But they are not really taking away his autonomy by closing the monastery, they are only putting an end to a harmful practice that is illegal.
      Now the part about harmful may be a matter of opinion. But personally I believe religious practices are mostly harmful.
