September 9, 2025 marks 60 years since China formally established the so-called “Tibet Autonomous Region” (TAR), which covers only about half of Tibet. Chinese state media celebrates, but Tibetans have little to rejoice about.

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.

The recent conviction of Shujun Wang, a Chinese-American scholar turned spy, is not merely a footnote in the annals of espionage but a stark illustration of a much larger, more nefarious operation: the global surveillance and influence network orchestrated by the Chinese Communist Party (CCP). Wang’s double life, meticulously engineered by Beijing’s Ministry of State Security (MSS), is emblematic of the CCP’s broader strategy to infiltrate and control global narratives, stifle dissent, and maintain its authoritarian grip on power.

Let’s unpack Chettri’s latest diatribe and see just how far he’s strayed from reality.

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.

The historical analysis of Tibet during the Qing Dynasty reveals a region that consistently resisted external control and maintained significant autonomy in governance, law, economy, and culture. Despite the Qing court’s efforts to centralize control and assimilate Tibetan society, the resilience of Tibetan institutions—particularly monasteries and local governance structures—ensured that Tibet operated largely as an independent entity.

The Lost Tibetan Guge Kingdom was no ordinary polity. It was a spiritual citadel, a cradle of renaissance, and a forgotten bridge between Tibet, India, and the sacred heart of the Himalayas. Towering from the windswept cliffs of western Tibet, Guge once served Gang Rinpoche (Mount Kailash) not merely as a neighbor, but as its steward and protector.
