China under the CCP has become a juggernaut in green technology. Its achievements are genuine: scale, speed, production, exports. But the cost is steep: environmental damage, labour suffering, overcapacity, opacity, geopolitical risk. The CCP must be held accountable: ambitions alone are not enough. For green tech to truly be green, the darker side must be exposed and reformed.

The United States is not the first democracy to confront TikTok’s risks. In 2020, India permanently banned TikTok, WeChat, and more than 50 other Chinese apps, citing national security and data privacy concerns. The Indian government declared the apps “a threat to the sovereignty and integrity of India,” pointing to their potential misuse in data mining and surveillance.

In a scathing exposé this week, the Associated Press tore through the sleek façades of Silicon Valley’s innovation culture to expose its shadowy complicity in one of the most brutal surveillance operations of the 21st century: China’s state-run mass repression of Uyghurs, Tibetans, dissidents, and anyone who dares to live free under the boot of the Chinese Communist Party.

In what some might call a page straight out of Cold War 2.0, NASA has maintained its longstanding policy of barring Chinese nationals from working on its space programs. Why? Because apparently, even outer space isn’t far enough to keep your intellectual property safe from the Chinese Communist Party.

Dharamsala, September 10, 2025 – Today, the Tibetan youth in exile offered the Life-Long Ceremony (tenshug) to His Holiness the 14th Dalai Lama at the Tsuglagkhang Temple in Dharamsala. The ceremony is a formal prayer requesting His Holiness to live long and continue guiding the Tibetan people and all humanity.

Nepal has ignited, not from foreign bombs, but from the anger of its youth. After the government suddenly banned 26 social media platforms on September 4, 2025—including Facebook, YouTube, WhatsApp, and even China’s WeChat—the streets exploded. Only TikTok, the Chinese-owned app, was spared, not for being innocent, but because it had already complied with government demands. This selective censorship revealed a clear truth: Nepal’s leaders were directly taking cues from Beijing’s authoritarian playbook, mimicking the Great Firewall while claiming it was for “local regulation.”

What began as a peaceful outcry by Nepal’s youth has now been written in blood. The streets that were supposed to echo with chants for justice and reform instead became grounds of violence. The movement, led by young Nepalis, was not about fleeting hashtags or viral slogans—it was a stand against a decades-old disease corroding their nation: corruption.

The allegation that China has secured an agreement to send 3 million #Uyghurs to #Türkiye as part of a labor pact has been 𝗳𝗼𝗿𝗰𝗲𝗳𝘂𝗹𝗹𝘆 𝗱𝗲𝗻𝗶𝗲𝗱 𝗯𝘆 #𝗧𝘂𝗿𝗸𝗶𝘀𝗵 𝗮𝘂𝘁𝗵𝗼𝗿𝗶𝘁𝗶𝗲𝘀.

On September 4, 2025, Nepal ordered the blocking of 26 major social media platforms—including Facebook, Instagram, YouTube, WhatsApp, and X/Twitter—after the companies refused to comply with new government rules requiring local registration, grievance redress mechanisms, and offices inside Nepal. TikTok and Viber survived the ban because they complied with these demands.

As the world marked His Holiness the Dalai Lama’s 90th birthday with joyous celebrations, cultural programs, and prayers of gratitude, Chinese authorities issued an internal directive designed to suffocate even the faintest whisper of observance inside Tibet. The classified eight-point document, obtained by Tibet Times, carries the stark title “Warning on Ideological Risks in the Autumn Session 2025” and is accompanied by a “Swift Action Plan for Sensitive Times.” It reflects Beijing’s long-standing paranoia that devotion to the Dalai Lama remains the greatest threat to its grip on Tibet.
