Mao’s unprovoked invasion of Tibet in 1949-50 also relied on a heavily distorted historical narrative designed to confuse Chinese citizens and the world.

China’s rapid 5G build-up has come to Tibet. That will have security implications for India.

The CCP’s strategy for consolidating control over Tibet centers on “sinicizing” Tibetan Buddhism.

Trainings and relocations of Tibetan nomads and farmers are aimed more at political stability than poverty alleviation.

A Tibetan leader presses the U.S. to punish China for crimes against humanity.

The Chinese state has used the coronavirus pandemic to deepen its advance into the private and devotional lives of Tibetans.

Tibetans know the surveillance risks, but many choose to give up privacy for convenience.
