Tibet’s geocultural identity is lost in China
The global awareness on the Tibet issue and the ongoing crisis there is unmatched. The Chinese Communist Party’s strict ban on information and news from Tibet is to blame. The Beijing administration allows Han Chinese tourists to enter Tibet, but international journalists, members of civil society and even Tibetans in exile are not allowed to enter Tibet. The Beijing administration receives revenue from Han Chinese tourists. Other Han tourists promote Potala Palace as a Chinese tourist destination. This is also the real purpose of China. The Beijing administration is making every effort to preserve Tibet’s traditional geo-cultural identity. Recently, after frequent earthquakes in some areas of Tibet, the CCP has imposed this lockdown on the instructions. Also, natives cannot share any local photos on social media. Tibetans in exile also have no means of knowing the truth about Tibetan self-immolations. Thus the issue of Tibet became a stain for Michelle Bechlet, who was completely ignorant. Especially given that Michel is a refugee himself and was expected to understand the plight of Tibetans who are becoming refugees in their own homes.
