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.
