IN AN ANNUAL ritual, hardy groups of activists gathered outside Chinese embassies around the world to mark International Human Rights Day on December 10th. They protested about many Chinese abuses: the encroachment on the freedoms promised Hong Kong; the persecution of the mostly Muslim Uighur minority in Xinjiang; and the repression of religious and political freedom in Tibet.
Thirty years on, Tibetans enjoy no more freedom than they did then. Nothing suggests that the reverence most feel for the Dalai Lama has diminished. But his return remains impossible and his image and writings banned. Tibetans continue to complain of restrictions on their religious freedoms and even of discrimination against their own language. But few mass protests have been reported since a vicious outbreak of anti-Chinese violence in Lhasa in 2008.
In Tibet, the first of these, cutting off international support, was not easy, such was the prestige and personal charm of the Dalai Lama. But China has managed it. That is partly because, at 84, the Dalai Lama is not the tireless globe-trotter he once was. But it is also because of China’s persistence in browbeating and even imposing sanctions on any country that accords him anything resembling an official status.
Thanks to tourism and investment in infrastructure, Tibet’s economy last year grew at 9%, faster than all but one Chinese province. The growth brings both jobs, and an influx of Han Chinese, whose presence sparked the resentment that exploded in 2008.
Yeah, like the people of South of US. are enjoying the fruit of Civil war.
Nonsense!
Because China loves liberating people from the tyranny of freedom and democracy with totalitarianism Wherever China gets a piece of land, the people must listen to everything it says. 'Stability' is the most crucial criteria for the Chinese hegemony
bullshit，they were the serfs of this man, and after the Lama was overthrown, they became free citizens who could go all over the world
WBYeats1865 That's why HongKongers hv to speak out loud and clear. We need international support to resist the evil regime. Tibet, Xinjiang, Hong Kong... people are dying, being tortured, locked up...we didn't believe the stories of Tibet, but now we know. We see what CCP is doing in HK!
While focusing on Uyghurs or HongKong, let’s not forget Tibet, which could be the earliest systematic human rights abuse “showcase” of CCP. As Xi is in rule the control over the entire nation is tightened for his “ChinaDream”. We need to speak up & stop his evil plot now!
Chinese animation studio also took Tibet’s culture and made a Yeti movie, Abominable. The notorious Nine Dash Line is seen on the map in the film. People complaining about cultureappropiation should talk about this.
China is a close country that control the press inside. No one will actually know what's going on on minority. This is the reason for it's successful suppression on both Tibet and Uighur. People can gather to resist becoz of strict control of speech and Internet.
Freedom my ass 🙄️🙄️🙄️
China has a lot to.answer for the world should come together for their continued atrocities ?
Despicable China must be dealt with for human rights abuses first in Tibbet now in Eastren Turkistan region !!!!
No more slaves there when Dalai Lama left Tibet.
Chinese Communist Party is George Orwell's 1984 Big Brother that watching us. CCP use CCTVs and drones and the police force. It will not stop in Xinjiang Tibet and Hongkong, it will spread to the world. Clinton & Obama with Free Trade have made CCP become so big. USSR MAGA
we need peace,and we can build our country
西藏农奴时代有自由？你是想变成人皮鼓吗？草泥马的
