In a scathing indictment of Beijing’s ongoing ethnic engineering, Human Rights Watch has exposed a 25-year campaign of forced relocations in Tibet, uprooting over 930,000 rural Tibetans from their ancestral lands under the pretense of “poverty alleviation” and “ecological protection.” The report, titled “Educate the Masses to Change Their Minds,” published May 22, 2024, shreds the Chinese government’s façade of “voluntary development” and lays bare a state-directed policy of displacement, coercion, and cultural erasure.
