In reading this, a thought came to me – is this the 21st Century version of what European settlers did here in North America? The difference, to me, is that these people herded Yaks while our Plains Indians lived off bison. We herded them onto reservations while China is forcing these people to give up the Yurts and move into modern, cookie-cutter, apartment blocks.
