The god king of a ethnostate with enshrined caste system and slavery? I don’t really care what he thinks.

The spokesperson is hardly a god king.

Tenzin Lekshay, a spokesperson for the Central Tibetan Administration, the Tibetan government-in-exile, said of Beijing’s report.

Ah, so he’s not the god king, just the representative of the god king in absentia, thanks for clarifying that for me. Doesn’t change that I don’t respect anyone who represents or is integrated into a caste-based ethnostate, but it’s good information nonetheless.

Sure, I'm not asking you to respect anything in particular.

The only placenames mentioned in the article are Chinese or English.

Got me wondering what the actual Tibetans would call it (both those inside Tibet and those outside it).
