  • A recent Q&A with Tibet’s top official revealed that the The Chinese Communist Party was seeking

  • toseverely punishthose who don’t share the government’s “beliefs and ideals”.

  • Although this message is nothing new for the repressive Chinese government, the threat

  • was particularly directed at followers of the Dalai Lama. Tensions between China and

  • the religious figure have long been the primary source of conflict in the Tibetan region.

  • So we wanted to know: just why does China hate the Dalai Lama?

  • Well, their main problem is that Tibet currently stands as an autonomous region of China. This

  • effectively means that it has some form of self-rule, but is ultimately under China’s

  • suzerainty [sue-zur-un-tee]. In 1965, their communist government officially established

  • this dependency, having forced Tibetan leaders to sign away the country’s independence

  • in exchange for guaranteed autonomy. But in the years since, this relationship has proven

  • incredibly tricky. Tibetans view themselves as culturally distinct from China, having

  • developed their own society over thousands of years. Even their language is more closely

  • related to that of neighboring Myanmar than it is to China. As a result, Tibet has long

  • demanded full independence.

  • The current Dalai Lama, according to Tibetan Buddhist beliefs, is the 14th incarnation

  • of the region’s spiritual and political leader. As such, he is considered to represent

  • the Tibetan Independence movement. This is despite the fact that he himself has rejected

  • the idea of full independence, and has simply advocated for greater self-autonomy. Unfortunately,

  • his ideas and massive following have not been taken lightly by China. In 1959, he was forced

  • into exile in India just a few years after the Chinese occupation of Tibet. The Dalai

  • Lama’s pro-independence following is a massive problem for China, which sees any deviation

  • from government plans as disastrous.

  • This situation is all the more complicated by the Dalai Lama’s religious influence.

  • Although China’s constitution does guarantee religious freedom, their track record on the

  • topic has been fraught with human rights abuses. Just last year, numerous muslim ethnic minorities

  • living in another autonomous region were arrested and oppressed due to their beliefs. Unsurprisingly,

  • one of the tenets of China’s Communist Party is atheism.

  • The Dalai Lama also represents an east versus west divide, which has come to color many

  • of China’s anti-US sentiments. Much of the western world supports the Dalai Lama, who

  • has met with multiple US presidents, and was even awarded the Nobel Peace Prize in 1989.

  • Clearly, China hates the Dalai Lama because he threatens what China sees as their rightful

  • control over Tibet. Meanwhile, Tibet’s population has used the exiled spiritual leader as the

  • face of their independence movement. In China’s eyes, squashing the Dalai Lama and his followers

  • would end the movement. In fact, the PRC has claimed that ALL Tibetan independence movements

  • are actually Western backed imperialism attempting to destroy China. It seems unlikely that either

  • side is willing to compromise, and we may just see continued government oppression.

  • Tibet is not China’s only autonomous region. Find out more about the others in our video.
