China's hysterical rejection of the Tibet Resolve Act is yet another glaring attempt to whitewash its brutal and oppressive policies in Tibet. Through state-controlled media mouthpieces like Xinhua News and China Daily, Beijing spews propaganda, desperately trying to mask the harsh reality of its illegal occupation and systematic eradication of Tibetan culture.

In recent months, China has witnessed an unsettling trend of high-profile disappearances and dismissals among its top government officials. This pattern, characterized by sudden vanishing acts, forced resignations, and harsh prison sentences on seemingly trumped-up charges, underscores a deeper power struggle within the Communist Party under Xi Jinping’s leadership. The developments hint at a regime increasingly reliant on manipulative and dictatorial tactics to maintain control.

In a display of diplomatic retaliation laced with authoritarian bravado, China has imposed visa restrictions on U.S. personnel accused of “behaving badly” on Tibet-related issues. This tit-for-tat move follows Washington’s March 31 announcement of visa restrictions against Chinese officials responsible for denying access to Tibet—a remote region where truth is suppressed behind heavily fortified gates.

China's recent release of a white paper titled “Human Rights in Xizang in the New Era” on March 28 has sparked renewed international criticism over its policies toward Tibet, particularly in cultural, educational, and religious affairs. Presented by the State Council Information Office in Lhasa, the document seeks to highlight China's development efforts in Tibet, yet has been accused of masking ongoing human rights abuses.

In a chilling reminder of the Chinese government's relentless crackdown on Tibetan culture and dissent, the Central Tibetan Administration (CTA) has reported the recent arrest of four Tibetans, including two monks from the Kirti Monastery, in Ngaba County, traditionally part of Amdo province. The detainees—Lobsang Samten, Lobsang Trinley, Tsering Tashi, and Wangkyi—have been taken to undisclosed locations, their whereabouts and wellbeing shrouded in uncertainty.

In a chilling demonstration of military intimidation, China has once again intensified its live-fire drills near Taiwan, flagrantly ignoring international norms and regional stability. This time, the target of Beijing’s saber-rattling is Taiwan President Lai Ching-te’s upcoming Pacific diplomatic trip, with whispers of further military exercises looming large.

As China prepares to celebrate the 75th anniversary of the founding of the People’s Republic of China (PRC) on October 1, its top security official has called for an aggressive crackdown on separatist activities in Tibetan areas, raising concerns over heightened repression in the region.

As the Chinese Communist Party (CCP)-appointed Panchen Lama, Gyaltsen Norbu, prepares to attend the Nanhai Buddhism Roundtable in Nepal this December, Beijing’s political motives behind this visit are becoming increasingly evident. The so-called Panchen Lama’s international appearances are part of a calculated effort by China to tighten its control over Tibetan Buddhism and extend its influence across global Buddhist communities.

In a historic move on June 12, 2024, the U.S. Congress passed the Promoting a Resolution to the Tibet-China Dispute Act, a bipartisan bill designed to support Tibet and counter China's oppressive policies. This legislation represents a bold and necessary stand against China's ongoing human rights abuses and its decades-long attempt to erase Tibetan identity and culture.
