The US which is not really a wholesome misty buddhist paradise is also involved in trying to kick out some people who arrived unofficially over the southern border and I think that is also regarded as complicated.

The people Bhutan kicked out were native to that place though and were born there and had identity documents and passports there.

USA is not a one dimensional country

Compare it with hecking wholesome Israel-friendly petrostate of Azebaijan which conducted a full scale ethnic cleansing special operation just a couple of years ago and it went mostly unnoticed and wasn't regarded as complicated by western intelligentsia

If that was the case, myanmar ( a buddhist country ) wouldn't be attacked mercilessly by the press/government/etc for their "deportations".

> Westerners love stories like that and don't want anything to tarnish it

Nobody cares. We'd turn against bhutan in an instant if the media/government/etc decided to turn against it.
