If China truly "liberated" Tibetans, one must ask why so many chose to flee into exile rather than embrace their so-called freedom. In 1959, following the suppression of the Lhasa Uprising, the Dalai Lama and tens of thousands of Tibetans escaped to India, fearing persecution. This was not the action of a people freed from oppression, but of a nation resisting foreign domination.
The city of Ghulja, East Turkestan (officially called Yining, Xinjiang by China), became a battleground on February 5, 1997. Thousands of peaceful Uyghur demonstrators took to the streets to demand justice, freedom, and an end to religious and cultural repression. The response? Brutal violence from Chinese security forces, mass arrests, and the cold-blooded killing of innocent people. Today, on its 28th anniversary, we remember the lives lost and the crimes the Chinese Communist Party (CCP) has tried to erase from history.
On that bitter winter morning, thousands of Uyghurs gathered in the streets of Ghulja, chanting for freedom and equal rights. The Chinese authorities had long been suffocating Uyghur culture—banning traditional meshrep gatherings and arresting religious leaders under fabricated charges of "separatism."
On February 5, 1997, the Chinese government unleashed brutal violence on peaceful Uyghur demonstrators in the city of Ghulja (Yining), East Turkestan (Xinjiang). What began as a non-violent protest for equal rights, religious freedom, and an end to racial discrimination quickly turned into one of the bloodiest crackdowns on Uyghurs in modern history.
China’s military ambitions in 2024 reveal a clear and alarming trajectory towards global dominance, with its expanding military capabilities, opaque budget practices, and aggressive regional posturing posing significant threats to international stability. The People’s Liberation Army (PLA) continues to prioritize becoming a "world-class military" by 2049, but the means by which Beijing seeks to achieve this reveal a calculated disregard for international norms and a growing tendency towards coercion.
China did it again, and this time with Thailand’s faith. To mark the 50th anniversary of diplomatic relations between Thailand and the People’s Republic of China and embracing shared history, spiritual and cultural ties, China has sent a Buddha tooth relic to Thailand from Buddha relic tower, Mount Wutai, Xinzhou city, Shanxi province which will be enshrined at Sanam Luang for more than two months. However, the relic sent by China is a replica and has no religious connection.
China has imposed restrictive export bans on essential minerals and machinery crucial for India’s growth in key sectors like renewable energy and infrastructure. By targeting gallium and germanium—indispensable for solar power and semiconductors—Beijing is striking at the heart of India’s renewable energy targets. Furthermore, by blocking the sale of tunnel-boring machines (TBMs), critical for metro and other infrastructure projects, China has escalated its economic warfare.
Donald Trump’s likely victory in the 2024 U.S. presidential election could deliver a crushing blow to China’s economic ambitions, sparking a new wave of trade wars, tariffs, and sanctions designed to curb Beijing’s expansionist policies. As Trump returns to the White House, the U.S. is poised to launch a more aggressive economic assault on China—one that not only challenges Beijing’s global dominance but also forces it to confront its internal economic fragility, human rights abuses, and reliance on unsustainable practices.
The report posits that the CCP's claim is not just a historical interpretation, but a strategic political narrative designed to legitimize the current Chinese administration's control over Tibet. The insistence on Tibet being an "inseparable part" of China is rooted in the CCP's need to maintain territorial integrity and political stability, rather than in any factual historical continuity.

Puran Chettri's article titled "The Dalai Lama’s Trip to the US is to Prepare for the Transfer of Assets and the Recognition of the 15th Dalai Lama" which was published on Storify (website) is a deeply misleading piece, laced with speculative claims, and unsubstantiated narratives. This article aims to reveal Mr. Chettri’s misleading assertions, expose the underlying propaganda, and highlight how such writings serve to undermine Tibetan-Indian relations while aligning suspiciously with Chinese Communist Party (CCP) propaganda.

High in the remote stretches of the Tibetan Plateau, China has made its presence felt in bold fashion, carving a colossal 600-foot-long message into the landscape. Inscribed in characters large enough to be read from space, the message reads, “Long live the Chinese Communist Party.” It is not just a symbol, but part of an extensive network of security fortifications along China’s border with Nepal, raising questions about Beijing’s growing influence over its southern neighbor.
