The recent trip of His Holiness the Dalai Lama to the USA for knee treatment has once again brought to the forefront the contentious issue of his reincarnation, an issue that lies at the heart of the ongoing struggle between Tibetan spiritual traditions and Chinese political ambitions. The Chinese government’s attempts to control the reincarnation of the Dalai Lama, much like their actions regarding the Panchen Lama, reveal a deeply hypocritical stance that seeks to undermine Tibetan identity and religious freedom.

In a troubling development, Chinese authorities have arrested a Tibetan woman, Zomkyi, for allegedly spreading rumours about the recent closure of the Ragya Sherig Norbuling school, a revered Tibetan educational institution.

China remained the world’s largest jailer of journalists in 2025, with at least 50 reporters imprisoned in connection with their work as of December 1, 2025, according to the 2025 Prison Census released by the Committee to Protect Journalists (CPJ) on January 21, 2026.

As the 2030s approach, the controversy underscores a deeper anxiety: that influence in modern geopolitics may not arrive through armies or espionage alone, but through citizenship laws, education systems, and Time tools that operate quietly, legally, and over generations.

The death of Geshe Shersang Gyatso, a 52-year-old senior monk at Tsang Monastery in Amdo, eastern Tibet, has thrown a harsh spotlight on Beijing’s relentless assault on Tibetan religious life.

Zhang’s investigation is significant not merely because he is second in command under Xi Jinping, but because he was widely seen as a key ally of Xi and a leading figure in efforts to modernise the PLA. His fall marks the most senior military leadership removal since the epochal Lin Biao incident of 1971, which underscored factional tension within the CCP and triggered decades of institutional reforms.

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.

The recent collapse of the Hongqi Bridge in Tibet has once again drawn global attention to the environmental devastation and instability resulting from the Chinese Communist Party’s (CCP) aggressive and often unregulated development agenda in the region. What was meant to symbolize “progress” and connectivity instead became a tragic emblem of ecological neglect and political recklessness.

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.

Reports confirm that the event received direct backing from organizations tied to the Chinese Communist Party’s United Front system-the very machinery designed to infiltrate, influence, and fracture communities abroad.
