“October marks the 73rd anniversary of the People’s Liberation Army’s invasion of Tibet in 1950, which soon led to Tibet’s annexation in 1959 and the self-exile of the Dalai Lama. China has long purported to have a centuries-old claim to sovereignty over the region, and Tibetans have since endured harsh conditions of imprisonment, violence, and oppression. As China’s policy of ethnic unity increasingly takes hold, Tibetan heritage is, and has been, under attack.
“Political persecution and forced assimilation have steadily escalated as Tibetans struggle to preserve their culture, faith, and history while navigating a life in which core elements of their identity are not only seen as ‘separatist,’ but also disobedient.”
— Emily K. Scolaro, “China is Widening its Crackdown on Tibetan Culture,” UN Dispatch, September 29, 2023.”
