China’s repression on Tibet continues; People celebrating Dalai Lama’s birthday were arrested
CHINESE ATROCITIES IN TIBET: On July 6, the Dalai Lama celebrated his 90th birthday. His supporters worldwide celebrated his birthday in great detail, with the exception of Tibet. In Tibet, China had placed so many restrictions that it was impossible for anybody to publicly celebrate his birthday. The article claims that since Chinese authorities stationed a significant number of police officers at Karze Monastery, Buddhist nuns and monks have been imprisoned on the monastery grounds.
They were not allowed to take part in any rituals, either communal or public. The story claims that in order to curb the centuries-old religious practice of burning juniper branches, Chinese officials also strictly prohibited burning smoke and kept an eye on any rituals performed in households. In addition to stepping up its monitoring of Tibetans, the Chinese government also kept an eye on communications with exiles. There were also several detainees. This has been the pattern of China’s suppression of Tibet for the last several decades.
Chinese savagery still
The barbaric treatment of Tibetans by China since its takeover is well known across the globe. The demonstrations were violently put down, and every preparation was taken to guarantee that no indication of it would reach any of the nations in the globe. The Tibetans’ voice came out of their throats, but it was inaudible to people in other nations because of the restricted technology and traditional communication system in place at the time. This is still ongoing, but in the age of knowledge sharing and the internet revolution, it has begun to spread globally. The Chinese government has even prohibited Tibetans from communicating overseas.
The article claims that in Lhasa, the capital of Tibet, and other locations, the Chinese government is constantly tracking down and attacking anyone who communicates with those living in exile outside. Tibetan nationals are being threatened with no communication with foreigners, their phones are being inspected, and they are being watched. China has been atrocating Tibet for decades, according to foreign affairs specialist Parul Chandra. The right to practice one’s own religion is not protected. Most often, human rights are infringed. China is always worried that the demonstrations may cause Tibet to elude them. As a result, demonstrations of all types are violently put down.
China fears insurrection
In 2008, China had a similar uprising in Tibet. Between March 10 and March 24, 2008, riots broke out in Tibet, killing almost 400 people. China is terrified every year as its anniversary is observed. In March 1959, China had taken over Lhasa. China is terrified every year on its anniversary. The concern of inciting worldwide support for Tibet’s independence has led to a rise in strictness.
Even after the month of March is over, the Chinese government is still examining all of the phone and internet data of Lhasa residents and looking into who had contact with foreigners. Those who have been detected as having connections overseas are prohibited from leaving Lhasa without notifying the authorities, according to intelligence reports. Those who interact with foreign journalists or media are subject to the worst penalties.
