A top Chinese official says “all-round efforts' are needed to ensure Tibetans speak Chinese and share the “cultural symbols and images of the Chinese nation.' Critics say the moves to culturally assimilate Tibet spell the demise of Buddhist culture.
Wang Yang made the remarks before a handpicked audience in front of the Potala Palace in Lhasa, the home of Tibet’s traditional Buddhist leaders, at a ceremony marking the 70th anniversary of the Chinese invasion of the vast Himalayan region.
China has highlighted its efforts to boost the economy in the region and condemned the exiled Dalai Lama as a separatist.Wang, who is a member of the Politburo Standing Committee — the apex of party power — and who oversees policy toward ethnic minorities, said “separatist and sabotage activities committed by the Dalai group and hostile external forces have been crushed.”
“Only by following the CPC leadership and pursuing the path of socialism, can Tibet achieve development and prosperity,” Wang was quoted by Xinhua as saying.
