AS CHINA CELEBRATES CCP CENTENARY, LISTEN TO VOICES OF THE PERSECUTED

INDIA FACES HUGE THREAT FROM CHINA: TIBETAN ACTIVIST TENZIN TSUNDUE

As China celebrates 100 years of the CCP, Tibetan activist Tenzin Tsundue spoke exclusively to NewsX and shared his opinion on the freedom movement of the Tibetans against Chinese oppression.

Speaking about his experience of protesting against the Chinese in New Delhi, he said, “This morning, I, along with 12 other activists from Tibetan Group Congress, protested outside the Chinese embassy here in Delhi. We all are under detention. Even now, as I speak, I am standing outside the police station. This protest is against the Chinese Communist Party, which celebrates its 100th year of existence. Here is a case where this entire history of 100 years of the CCP is riddled with public execution, destruction of culture, language and people.”

Underlining that India is facing a huge threat on both security and economic fronts from China, he urged Indians to strongly respond to Chinese threats. “China has become a threat to world peace, yet nobody speaks directly about it because of high dependency on Chinese supply chains. It is time to start a collective international campaign against China whose tyrannical government has single-headedly organised the largest genocide in the world,” he added.

Asked about the overture of the current Tibetan president Penpa Tsering, who’s in exile and has spoken about holding a dialogue with the Chinese authorities for a permanent resolution, Tenzin said, “This is an expression of finding a solution through dialogue and seeking autonomy. I feel the Tibet government-in-exile needs to rethink its policies and start its campaign for true independence of Tibet. We all need to stand in unity against China for freedom and justice.”

CHINA CONTINUES TO LOOT TIBET’S RICH HERITAGE: TIBETAN MP LHAGYARI DOLKAR

Namgyal Dolkar, MP of Tibetan Parliament in Exile, joined NewsX for a conversation as China celebrates 100 years of CCP and spoke about Chinese oppression against Tibetans.

“The Chinese have called the violent exilation a peaceful liberation today. China claims that they brought developments to Tibet through infrastructure investment, but the fact is they still continue to loot Tibet of its natural resources for its own economic prosperity and mass Chinese immigration into Tibet territory. They have exploited Tibetan strategic locations to focus on India. After all the false promises, we now know that China remains the biggest threat to Tibetan political system, culture, Buddhism religion and so on.” She further cautioned the world against signing any bilateral agreements with China as it doesn’t uphold it. She said, “Tibet regrets the signing of bilateral 17 points agreement with China as they are not sticking by it.”

Fifty years after Tibet, Hong Kong has succumbed to its fate against the Chinese might. There is no freedom of speech and pro-democracy protesters are being silenced. The world is witnessing this all from the sidelines, without doing anything to ameliorate the situation. Talking about solutions, Namgyal said, “It’s not only about the threat which the Chinese government led by Xi Jinping places on occupied territories like Tibet, but actually it is also about the threat to free and democratic countries like India. Many times we hear about Chinese territorial acquisition and how they are barging into Indian territory. So, India and world should remain conscious of Chinese moves.”
