Whole Trouble – Chinese Mining in Minyak County, Kham Province, Tibet
Red China’s mining activities in Occupied Tibet are illegal. I ask the global community to refrain from purchasing Made in China products for they are products of illegal activities.
On 4 May 2016, a sudden mass death of fish in the Lichu River in Minyak Lhagang, Dartsedo County in Karze Prefecture brought hundreds of local Tibetans out on the street, protesting against a lithium mining company (Ronda Lithium Co Ltd) that released mine waste into the Lichu River, a tributary of Nakchu/Yalong river, the biggest river that merges with Yangtse downstream.

Whole Trouble – Chinese Mining in Minyak County, Kham Province, Tibet
Dharamshala — More than 100 Tibetans have protested against Chinese mining operations at a site considered sacred by local Tibetan residents, drawing a large police force to the area and prompting fears of clashes.
‘The protest took place at Yulshok Gargye in Minyak County, Kham Province of eastern Tibet (Ch: Minya Konka, Kangding County, Sichuan, China),” on May 4, 2016,’ Aka Penpa, a monk from South India told the TPI.
‘Chinese authorities deployed dozens of police forces in vehicles to the protest site, immediately after the event,’ TPI’s source said. “The situation is still very tense, as there are growing fears among the locals that the security crackdown, may take place in the open sky,” sources said, adding: “It is also unknown whether or not the Chinese authorities arrested any of these Tibetan protesters.”
Mt Minyak Gangkar is one of the highest mountains in Kham region of eastern Tibet, which is located near Dartsedo City. It is with elevation of 7556m. The town of Dartsedo was an important trade center between Tibet and China, and for centuries its importance lay on the tea-horse trade. Mt Minyak Gangkar is one of the most sacred snow capped mountain in the Kham region.
Mining operations in Tibet have led to frequent standoffs with Tibetans who accuse Chinese firms of disrupting sites of spiritual significance and polluting the environment as they extract local wealth.

China starts construction of Tibet’s biggest hydropower plant on upper reaches of Yangtze River Power plant expected to provide electricity to developed eastern provinces

China has started construction of the first hydropower station on the Jinsha River – part of the upper reaches of the Yangtze River – that will supply electricity to the economically well-off regions in the country’s east, official media reported.
The Suwalong hydro power project at the junction of Mangkam county in Tibet and Batang county in Sichuan province has a design capacity of 1.2 gigawatts and will be able to generate about 5,400 gigawatt hours of electricity a year when completed in 2021, Xinhua reported.
The design capacity is more than double that of the Zangmu hydropower plant, Tibet’s largest existing hydro project, which was completed in October on the Yarlung Zongbo river. It is hoped that the 18 billion yuan (HK$21.5 billion) Suwalong dam, could pave the way for other projects in the headwaters of the adjacent Nu (Salween) and Lancang (Mekong) rivers to “fuel development” of hydro power in Tibet, the official website Tibet.cn reported.
China’s second largest dam the Xiluodu dam, under construction along the Jinsha River in Yongshan County, Yunnan near the border Sichuan.
The Suwalong project will also boost local social and economic development in Tibet, according to the website. Construction of the 112-metre-high dam is expected to start next year.
Developed by China Huadian Corp, the Suwalong dam is being built at a time when the weak grid infrastructure and falling demand for electricity has left many hydropower stations lying idle in the mountainous southwest region.
More that 20,000 GWh of hydro electricity were not used in Sichuan and Yunnan provinces, which neighbour Tibet, in 2014. Energy experts estimated that enough water to generate 40,000 GWh was simply allowed to run through turbines in the region last year.

The Xiluodu double-curvature arch dam was built by China Three Gorges Corporation (CTGPC). It is the second largest dam in China, next only to the Three Gorges Dam (TGD) in terms of size, construction cost and generating capacity.
The new dam was constructed in the lower Jinsha River, which is a major tributary of the Yangtze River. The dam is located on the upper reaches of the Yangtze River between Yunnan Province and Sichuan Province.
Construction of the CNY50.34bn ($6.2bn) dam project began in December 2005, with the concreting commencing in 2008. Construction of the dam was completed in 2013.
With a reservoir capacity of 12.67 billion cubic metre (bcm) and flood control capacity of 4.65bcm, the Xiluodu Dam and TGD is capable of preventing floods up to 4.6bcm in the middle and lower parts of the Yangtze.

Red China is constructing numerous dams in Tibet blocking natural flow of various rivers without concern for environmental impacts. None of the other Asian nations like India, Bangladesh, Myanmar, Laos, Kampuchea, and Vietnam are able to intervene to assert their rights to River Waters. At this moment, while Red China plunders Tibet’s natural resources, the World is watching helplessly.

Indian photographer Vijay Kranti’s four decades of pictorial work is presented by All India Fine Arts & Crafts Society(AIFACS) at New Delhi in a photo festival called “Thank-You Dalai Lama” in celebration of Tibetan Civilization.
LARGEST EVER PHOTO FESTIVAL ON TIBETAN CIVILIZATION ‘THANK-YOU DALAI LAMA’
Tuesday, April 19, 2016
New Delhi: ‘Thank you Dalai Lama’ the world’s biggest photo festival is being presented at All India Fine Arts & Crafts Society (AIFACS). The festival that started last week will go on till 15th April, 2016 is based on internationally acclaimed Indian photo journalist Vijay Kranti’s pictorial work of the past four decades. Presented in all the four galleries of AIFACS, this show is the largest ever photo-exhibition on Dalai Lama and Tibetan Civilization till date.
This event is a sumptuous treat to the eyes and soul for those who love PHOTOGRAPHY, DALAI LAMA and BUDDHISM. For a special treat to the art lovers, a live demonstration of most exotic spiritual fine arts of Tibet is going on during the festival. These art pieces are demonstrated by reputed Tibetan artists of- THANGKA PAINTING, SAND MANDALA PAINTING and BUTTER SCULPTURE.
“This photo-festival is an Indian photographer’s artistic tribute to the success story of a peaceful and brave refugee community, its monk leader the Dalai Lama and their magnanimous hosts — the people and Government of India”, says Vijay Kranti.
This exhibition is the concluding show of Vijay’s five year long photo-festival titled “BUDDHA’s HOME COMING” which started in March 2011 at Barcelona in Spain. Other shows in this series included one at India International Centre, New Delhi during the “Ceremony of Bodhi Awakening” in March 2012, one at the Museum of Fine Arts of Panjab University, Chandigarh in April 2013 and the last one in Sydney, Australia in June 2014.
Vijay Kranti also added “It’s a humble acknowledgement on behalf of Indian citizens that HH Dalai Lama and Tibetan refugee community have made very creative use of Indian hospitality. The benevolent presence of HH Dalai Lama in India as our honoured guest since 1959 has enriched India’s spiritual, social and cultural life enormously in so many ways”.
About 300 photo exhibits along with slide shows based on over 500 images present an intimate photo-study of Dalai Lama, Tibetan culture and Tibetan refugee community in this photo festival.
“Dalai Lama is considered as the reincarnation of Lord Buddha. His coming and adopting India as his second home has proved a blessing in disguise for India. Looking at the enormous contributions he has made to India’s spiritual and cultural life, I look at his presence in India as the second home coming of Buddha after a long gap of over 2500 years,” says Vijay Kranti.
A senior Indian journalist, an accomplished photographer and an acclaimed Tibetologist, Vijay Kranti started his professional interaction with the Tibetan community and its leader, His Holiness the Dalai Lama, on a newspaper assignment in 1972. Since then he has been writing frequently on various aspects of Tibet and has extensively photographed the cultural and social life of the Tibetan community. His coffee table book “Dalai Lama – The Nobel Peace Laureate Speaks” which is based on photography and personal interviews with Dalai Lama, stands out as the only book of its kind in the international market. His latest comic book “Dalai Lama – The Soldier of Peace”, published in English, Tibetan and Hindi has also been quite popular too.
Over past four decades Vijay Kranti has evolved an impressive photo-archive on various aspects of Tibetan life. This collection is acknowledged as the largest and aesthetically rich photo-documentation of Tibetan life and culture across the globe. Mr. Kranti has been frequently invited to many countries including Austria, Germany, Switzerland, Holland, the USA, UK, Canada, Spain and Australia to present his photo-exhibitions and photo based talk shows on Tibet.
This photo-festival is curated by a well known fashion photographer Akshat Kranti Mahajan.
BACKGROUND: In 1959 a handful of Tibetan refugees (just 80,000) followed their deposed monk ruler and spiritual leader the Dalai Lama into India. They arrived in a hopeless shape — no physical assets, no international language skills, no knowledge about the functioning of modern world politics or business. Simply nothing to shake hands with the strange new world…….
While Indian Prime Minister (Late) Pandit Jawahar Lal Nehru ensured rehabilitation and a favorable and free environment to the refugees, many friendly international organizations came forward with financial, material and moral support to help them handle their trauma. Encouraged by this support, the Dalai Lama persuaded the exiled community to start a process of national reconstruction around whatever manpower and talent was available. 57 years later today, India has emerged as the largest reservoir of authentic Tibetan culture and Tibetan identity in the world. Vijay Kranti has been closely watching and documenting this rebirth of Tibetan civilization since 1972.
This photo-festival is an Indian photographer’s visual tribute to the success story of this brave and peaceful refugee community, its monk leader the Dalai Lama and their magnanimous hosts — the people and government of India.
Red China’s Occupation of Tibet – Shameless Act of Naked Aggression
Red China’s Occupation of Tibet – Shameless Act of Naked Aggression. There is no controversy. Queen of Red China has no clothes to hide her acts of aggression.
Tibet’s military occupation describes ‘The Naked Truth’. The word ‘NAKED’ means completely unclothed, bare, nude, uncovered, exposed, plain, or stark. Publication of Nude Photo images in social media is not of much concern. Red China’s unprovoked attack, Red China’s use of her armed forces violating international laws, and Red China’s destructively hostile and aggressive actions constitute ‘The Naked Truth’ and this Shameless Act of Naked Aggression is cause of pain and suffering across Land of Tibet. There is no controversy; Queen of Red China is Shameless, has no clothes, and cannot hide or conceal her acts of aggression.

Red China’s Occupation of Tibet – Shameless Act of Naked Aggression. There is no controversy. Queen of Red China has no clothes to hide her acts of aggression.
Reaction to nude photos posted online of a woman at a sacred lake in the Tibet autonomous region has been mixed.
Negative comments followed the posting of the images earlier this week, but there were also many internet users who supported the nude photography and criticized Sina Weibo user YouchumDolkar for posting private images.
“Nudity does not necessarily imply sex, and nudity does not mean vulgarism,” said Weibo user Miaoira.
The photographer was not detained by the police, as reported by some media, according to Wang Jin, head of the publicity department of Nagarze county, Tibet. That was confirmed by the police in Lhasa, the regional capital.
However, Wang said, such photography would not be welcomed by ethnic groups, and public nudity is forbidden by the country’s public security regulations.
“Yamdrok Lake is one of the sacred lakes in Tibet, and it is of major significance to its people. Any action that desecrates the lake is forbidden,” Wang said.
YouchumDolkar, a female netizen, first posted the nude photos on Monday.
She condemned the actions of the male photographer and the woman for what she said was their “way of thinking without any cultural or moral principles”.
She added another post on Thursday saying, “I only wanted more people to know about the local customs in Tibet” and “When in Rome, do as the Romans do.”
The posts had more than 2,370 comments and 390 reposts as of Thursday.
Accompanying the posts was a screen shot of a WeChat “Moment” in which the photographer explained that the woman who posed for the camera simply wanted to create a memory of the sacred spot because she was able to visit Tibet in the prime of her life.
Beijing News had reported on Wednesday that the police had placed the photographer－identified only as Yufeixiong in his social media account－in administrative detention for 10 days after receiving reports about the nude photo shoot from local residents.
The photographer did not respond to a request for comment on Thursday .

The Sichuan–Tibet Highway is known as China’s most dangerous highway. The highway begins in Chengdu, the capital of southwestern China’s Sichuan province, and ends in Lhasa, the capital City of Tibet. The highway spans 2,142 km, or 1331 miles, over 14 mountains (some with glaciers), runs through ancient forests, and crosses many rivers.
Because of the steep inclines of the landscape, the road was constructed with many curves and zigzags. Running through valleys, up and down mountains, and across or along rapid rivers, the route is made even more perilous by the fact that it is not fully paved with proper roads in some places.
Originally called the Kangding-Tibet Highway, this lengthy road will take the most dedicated traveler 44 hours to drive, but can take up to 15 days for someone who wants to stop and see all the sights (like a glacier or two) along the way.

Trouble in Tibet – Red China’s Divide and Rule Policy
TROUBLE IN TIBET – RED CHINA’S DIVIDE AND RULE POLICY.
Imperialism is a major colonizing force. Under Red China’s military occupation, Tibet exists as a Colony and population of Tibet is subdued by brutal force in an attempt to assimilate Tibetans to the Colonizer’s way of life. Red China’s colonization of Tibet is defacing every aspect of the Land of Tibet. Now, reports indicate that Red China is deliberately pitching different sects of Tibetan Buddhism against each other to undermine the influence of Dalai Lama on Tibetan cultural institutions that traditionally recognize and respect Tibetan Institution of Governance called Ganden Phodrang.

CHINA SIGNALS POLICY SHIFT ON DALAI LAMA

A discernible shift in Beijing’s policy towards the Dalai Lama was seen at the 4th plenary session of the 12th National People’s Congress (NPC), China’s version of a parliament, which concluded on March 15, 2016. China utilised the Chinese People’s Consultative Conference (CPPCC) and NPC sessions – popularly called the ‘Big Two’ — to drive a wedge between the Dalai Lama and the various Tibetan Buddhist sects in a bid to undermine and isolate him.
An indication of the shift in the Chinese government’s stance towards the Dalai Lama was the remark by Padma Choling, deputy party secretary in the Tibet Autonomous Region. He told journalists during the NPC session that the Dalai Lama “was no longer a religious leader after he defected his country and betrayed its people. If the Dalai Lama wants to return to China, he must give up ‘Tibet independence,’ and must publicly acknowledge Tibet and Taiwan are inseparable parts of China and that the People’s Republic of China is the only legitimate government.” Choling’s remarks are significant as they show, in the words of an analyst, that “the legitimacy of the Dalai Lama’s status as a religious leader was no longer acknowledged by the central government as he has failed to fulfil his obligation to inherit and spread Buddhism and continued his separatist activities.”
The policy shift follows the declaration by the Politburo Standing Committee after a week-long closed-door conclave in 2015 that Beijing has the final say in recognition of the Dalai Lama. The official news agency, Xinhua, asserted that “all confirmations of the Dalai Lama have required approval by the central Chinese government, which has deemed the process an important issue concerning sovereignty and national security.” An anonymous source cited by AsiaNews quoted Xi Jinping as saying at the meeting that the Chinese Communist Party would pick “the next Dalai Lama, period! If things do not go well, we are ready to take corrective action.”
In recent deliberations there was a deliberate effort to to single out the Dalai Lama for criticism. For instance, three Chinese singers and actors had visited Bodh Gaya last month to commemorate the 92nd birth anniversary of the late predecessor of the 17th Gyalwang Karmapa. But the Deputy Party Secretary of TAR, Wu Yingjie, chose to raise the issue during the NPC session. Speaking to reporters, he criticised renowned Chinese singer Faye Wong, actor Tony Leung Chiu-wai and actor Hu Jun for attending the event. He said, “We hope the celebrities take the responsibility for their own deeds. We firmly oppose all celebrities, however influential they are, and whatever purpose they have, to make any contact with the 14th Dalai clique, or even help him spread his ideas.” Notably while the Dalai Lama and his “clique” were singled out for criticism and visitors warned to avoid contact with them, any critical reference to the Gyalwa Karmapa, who heads the Karma Kargyu sect of Tibetan Buddhism, was carefully avoided. Beijing is trying to undermine the Dalai Lama and draw a distinction between him and other Tibetan Buddhist religious leaders.

CHINESE AUTHORITIES SLAP NEW CONSTRAINTS ON TIBETAN BUDDHIST MONASTERIES

TROUBLE IN TIBET – YOKE OF OCCUPATION. RED CHINA SLAPS NEW CONSTRAINTS ON TIBETAN BUDDHIST MONASTERIES. Chinese surveillance unit operating inside Tibetan Buddhist monastery. Police inside keep an eye on monks day and night, says a source.
Chinese authorities in Tibet have imposed new restrictions on monasteries in a county in northwestern China’s Qinghai province, intensifying an existing ban on displaying photos of exiled spiritual leader the Dalai Lama, Tibetan sources in the region and in exile said.
The restrictions pertain to Rongwo and other monasteries in Rebgong (in Chinese, Tongren) county, Malho (Huangnan) Tibetan Autonomous Prefecture, in northwestern China’s Qinghai province, a native of Rebgong who lives in exile in Europe said.
“During the month of March this year, the Chinese authorities imposed unprecedented restrictions on the display of the Dalai Lama’s photo in Rebgong’s Rongwo monastery and in other monasteries,” he told RFA’s Tibetan Service.
Authorities issued four restrictions to be implemented at Rongwo monastery, which was founded in the 14th century and is located 124 kilometers (77 miles) from the provincial capital Xining, and other Tibetan Buddhist institutions in the county, he said.
The first mandate requires monasteries to strictly follow the leadership of local management committees in implementing rules and regulations, he said.
Chinese authorities set up the management committees in early 2012 in most Tibetan Buddhist monasteries, placing them under the direct control of government officials who are permanently installed in the lamaseries.
The policy was enacted to ensure that monks and nuns do not participate in activities calling for an independent Tibet or disturb the social order through protests or self-immolations.
“The permanent posting of government or party officials inside monasteries is unprecedented in Tibet, let alone at such a senior level,” Human Rights Watch said in a March 2012 statement after the policy was established.
Under a previous policy, Tibetan monasteries had been administered by so-called democratic management committees whose members were nominated and selected by government and local Communist Party officials, although the body itself was comprised of monks elected by their own communities.
OTHER DIRECTIVES
The second requirement specifies that the custodians of shrines and temples should sign off on the management committee instructions to hold them responsible for the policy, the source said.
The third directive mandates that monks in charge of temples and shrines should oversee the safety of all statues and other property and prevent their fellow monks from participating in any activities that could bring disgrace to the monasteries, he said. Such activities include putting up posters against Chinese policy in Tibet and being involved in self-immolation protests.
There have been 144 self-immolations by Tibetans living in China since a wave of fiery protests began in 2009. Most protests feature demands for Tibetan freedom and the return of the 14th Dalai Lama, although a handful of self-immolation protests have occurred over local land or property disputes.
The last directive requires that all statues and photos of the Dalai Lama be removed from shrines and temples, the source said. If anyone is discovered violating this rule, he will be expelled from the monastery and could be handed over to authorities for prosecution.
“Shrines and temples that refuse to follow the instructions could be closed,” he said. “All these restrictions were imposed just this year, but they were planned more than a year ago.” In monasteries in Rebgong, a local government staff member is assigned to one to two monks to educate them on official rules and policy on regular basis as detailed in a government-issued instruction booklet, he said.
The officials are held responsible for the activities of the monks they instruct in the event that they commit an offense against Chinese rule and policy, a source from inside Tibet said.
The 80-year-old Dalai Lama, whose photos are banned by Chinese authorities in Tibetan areas, fled Tibet into exile in India in 1959 and is reviled by Chinese leaders as a dangerous separatist who seeks to split the formerly self-governing region from Beijing’s rule.
The Dalai Lama, however, says he seeks only “meaningful autonomy” for Tibet as a part of China with protections for the region’s language, religion, and culture.

Trouble in Tibet – How to defeat the Red Revolution?
Whole Trouble – Tibet needs Blonde Revolution to defeat the Red Revolution. PAINTING BY FERDINAND VICTOR EUGENE DELACROIX GIVES ME HOPE. “LIBERTY” WILL LEAD BLONDE REVOLUTION TO CAST AWAY EVIL FORCES OF RED REVOLUTION FROM TIBET.
Red Revolution of October 1949 heralded birth of People’s Republic of China and Tibetans experienced different kind of pain and anxiety when Red China’s Founding Father and Communist Party Chairman Mao Zedong proclaimed his political doctrine of Expansionism. Ever since 1950, Tibet is in Trouble because of Red Revolution.
Supreme Ruler of Tibet, His Holiness the 14th Dalai Lama proclaimed that there is a chance that he may reincarnate as “Mischievous Blond Girl.”
In 1830, Eugene Delacroix painted ‘Liberty Leading The People’ to commemorate the French Revolution. His painting depicts events of July 28, 1830. ‘Liberty’ is the symbol of French Republic, also known as Marianne. I am hoping for ‘Blonde Revolution’ in Tibet to wipe out the Evil Forces of Red Revolution from the Land of Tibet ushering in a New Era of Liberty.

China official says Dalai Lama ‘making a fool’ of Buddhism

BEIJING/DHARAMSALA, India (Reuters) — Exiled Tibetan spiritual leader the Dalai Lama is “making a fool” of Tibetan Buddhism with suggestions he may not reincarnate, or reincarnate as something inappropriate, and the faithful are not buying it, a Chinese official wrote on Monday.
The comments came as early election results put the leader of the Tibetan government-in-exile, Lobsang Sangay, on course for a second term, part of a strategy to sustain a decades-old struggle for greater autonomy for its Chinese-ruled homeland.
China says the Dalai Lama, who fled into exile in India after a failed uprising against Chinese rule in 1959, is a violent separatist. He denies espousing violence and says he only wants genuine autonomy for Tibet.
China says the tradition must continue and its officially atheist Communist leaders have the right to approve the Dalai Lama’s successor, as a right inherited from China’s emperors.
The Nobel Peace Prize-winning monk has suggested his title could end when he dies. China accuses him of betraying, and being disrespectful towards, the Tibetan religion by saying there might be no more reincarnations.
Writing in the state-run Global Times, Zhu Weiqun, chairman of the ethnic and religious affairs committee of the top advisory body to China’s parliament, said the Dalai Lama had to respect tradition.
“The Dalai Lama continues to proclaim his reincarnation is a ‘purely religious matter’ and something only he can decide, but he has no way to compel admiration from the faithful,” wrote Zhu, known for his hardline stance on Tibet.
“He’s been proclaiming he’ll reincarnate as a foreigner, as a bee, as a ‘mischievous blond girl’, or even proposing a living reincarnation or an end to reincarnation,” he added.
“All of this, quite apart from making a fool of Tibetan Buddhism, is completely useless when it comes to extricating him from the difficulty of reincarnation,” wrote Zhu, who was involved in the past in Beijing’s failed efforts to talk to the Dalai Lama’s representatives.
A senior aide to the Dalai Lama, Tenzin Taklha, said there was “no way” Tibetans would accept a successor appointed by China. “The Chinese are following an absurd agenda and we continue to reject it,” he said.
In 2011, the Dalai Lama called on exiled Tibetans to nominate an elected leader, or “Sikyong,” to lead the Central Tibetan Administration (CTA). Sangay was on track to win re-election with over 65 percent backing in the March 20 vote.
“I hope to do much better. Both on political terms, by holding dialog with the Chinese, and working on welfare issues in the next five years,” he told Reuters.
China does not recognize the CTA, which is based in India’s Himalayan town of Dharamsala and represents nearly 100,000 exiled Tibetans living in 30 countries including India, Nepal, Canada and the United States.
