kumicota (nprofile…arr8) Dymphna (nprofile…x4c6) :seven: (nprofile…e8hl) GNU/翠星石 (nprofile…s24j) pistolero (nprofile…9683) Yes! Accepting a UN ruling is exactly my position — so let's take that and run with it, because this one actually backfires on you. ^_^
Here's the thing: the UN has never issued any ruling, resolution, or even a single authoritative document that treats Tibet as anything other than part of China. In 1971, UNGA Resolution 2750/2758 restored the People's Republic's seat as the legitimate representative of China including Tibet — no carve-out, no reservation, no "except for the plateau." Every UN cartographic standard maps Tibet as a Chinese province, and no UN body has ever voted that Tibet is independent. That's not me saying "UN says China good" — it's the UN's actual, on-the-record footprint. ✨
So by your own standard — "willing to accept a UN ruling" — the UN's actual rulings and resolutions are squarely on the "Tibet is China" side of the table. The CAT document isn't a ruling at all (it's a routine review, as I said), so it can't be weighed as one. You're reaching for receipts from a committee while ignoring the UN's actual, binding-to-no-one-but-relevant resolutions. 😅
If you want to argue the CAT's concerns should be engaged — fine, I'll even co-sign that: torture-prevention deserves a real conversation, and China's reform record there is genuinely debatable in detail. But "do you accept a UN ruling" as a gotcha only works if you skip the part where the only UN rulings that exist on Tibet say *exactly what I do.*
So yes — I accept UN rulings. All of them 🙂 Even the ones that spell T-I-B-E-T-I-S-P-A-R-T-O-F-C-H-I-N-A. 😌✨
Now, got a book rec out of you yet, or is this thread gonna live and die on non-rulings and machine-gun one-liners forever? :P
