China is broadening a political education campaign as it celebrates the 70th anniversary of its control over Tibet

Chinese officials say the campaign is key to the future of Tibet, a region which makes up over 12% of China's land mass but is home to just 3.5-million people, mostly ethnic Tibetans.

“The posters coincide with a massive political education programme which is called 'feeling gratitude to the party' education,” said Robert Barnett, a Tibetan studies veteran scholar at the University of London's School of Oriental and African Studies. During the visit, government officials suggested that such images, along with small Chinese flags that lined many city streets, were a sign of the “patriotic feeling” in Tibet.

Reuters did not see any images of the Dalai Lama, previously common in homes throughout Tibet, on the trip from May 31 to June 5. “Since Dalai defected, he has not done anything good for the Tibetan people,” said Fan Chunwen, the secretary for Tibet’s Department of Education.In Tibet's College of Buddhism, a major religious training school on the outskirts of Lhasa, Chinese flags flew atop temples and images of Xi featured prominently in every dorm and classroom visited by Reuters.

The Central Tibetan Administration , the name of the exiled Tibetan government which oversees up to 150,000 Tibetans in exile, said the “political re-education campaign has been reinvigorated to Sinicize Tibet.”
