The events of 2023 have recently intensified the debate over China’s claims over Tibet and its legality. It’s of no surprise that the Peoples...

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.

The Tibetan Plateau, often referred to as the "Asian Water Tower," is one of the most ecologically sensitive and strategically vital regions in the world. Home to the largest repository of freshwater outside the polar regions, the plateau is the source of several major rivers that sustain billions of people across Asia. However, recent studies and reports have raised grave concerns about the future of this fragile ecosystem due to increasing temperatures, accelerated glacial melt, and the intensified environmental degradation driven by China's industrial and infrastructural expansion.

Since the Chinese occupation of Tibet in 1959, the CCP has continuously engaged in a consistent effort over 60 years to replace Tibetan culture...

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."

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.

In the realm of geopolitics and international relations, the Tibet-China dispute remains a focal point, particularly regarding the Dalai Lama's role and influence. 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.

Puran Chettri is back at it again, doubling down on his conspiracy-laden claims about the Dalai Lama. His latest blog post reads like a greatest-hits compilation of Chinese propaganda—chock full of baseless allegations, obscure sources, and a narrative that sounds suspiciously familiar to anyone who’s read the CCP’s playbook. Let’s unpack Chettri’s latest diatribe and see just how far he’s strayed from reality.

Imagine a utopia where every child gets a first-rate education, and every local official is just another altruistic real estate agent. Welcome to Tibet,...
