Here's an example of #China using cinematic feature films as #nationalist #propaganda. It's a very well done, high budget film. You can see how dramatic films like these are used to promote nationalistic pride. These state approved propaganda films are disguised as entertainment & are designed to brainwash citizens, over time.
It's really not that different than how the USA film industry creates a lot of state approved propaganda films that aid/abet nationalistic BS too.
*Qomolangma is #Tibetan for #MountEverest
‐----------
" It is based on the real-life expedition of four #Chinese #mountaineers in 1960. Two generations of Chinese mountaineers who scaled Mount #Qomolangma from the perilous north side in 1960 and 1975. Finally in 1975 they held the last chance and successfully reached the top of Qomolangma. It was the first success in the history of mankind to climb Qomolangma's north side. "

@PhoenixSerenity@beige.party Recently there have been plenty of high budget action movies coming from CCP, Russia and India/Pakistan, each dripping propaganda and revisionist ideas about mostly historic events. One example is the "The Battle at Lake Changjin" series (2021) from China, another would be the Modi-worshipping "Shershaah" from India.
My 94yrs old father-in-law is a war-film buff, but the one thing he despises the most watching those movies is such blatant alt-history one can observe.
@PhoenixSerenity@beige.party I'll leave the PRC propaganda and somewhat irrational whataboutism to others, but Mt Everest is #Chomolungma in well-established romanization of #Tibetan since well before the CCP invaded and colonized #Tibet in 1950.
It's also what the Tibetans themselves use in english-language writing, mainly in exile of course because you-know-why.
@demi7en@infosec.exchange We have several Tibetan exiles here in Victoria. There's not been cohesiveness on the names here. I was told by the diaspora folks living here that Tibetans with Nepalese ancestry tend to use Chomolungma & those without tend to use Qomolangma. What there is full cohesiveness on is hatred of CCP aggression & imperialistic abuses.

@PhoenixSerenity@beige.party "Qomolangma" is simply CCP's sinicized romanization.
Maybe your "non-Nepalese" Tibetan mates exchange a lot of written notes about Mt Everest (as per your implying), but it's purely a PRC thing, and naturally a political one at that.
