China’s Chengdu-Lhasa Railway: Tibet and ‘One Belt, One Road’

A newly planned railway linking Tibet with central China will serve to provide stability for the Belt and Road.

It is no secret that Tibetan independence movements have long drawn the ire of Chinese authorities. Alongside heightened rhetoric in recent years over Tibetan unrest and the growing publicity of riots and self-immolations, China has sought to augment its capacity for crackdown in the restive province.

The swiftness of Chinese response to previous swells of separatist sentiment is best illustrated in the 2008 Tibetan unrest. During that time, the BBC reported that within days of the start of anti-government riots, over 400 troop carriers of the People’s Armed Police were mobilized. Ultimately, the speed with which the Chinese government was able to ferry troops into sites of unrest was a crucial factor in quelling the upheaval.

In more recent times, China’s “One Belt, One Road” (OBOR) policy – Xi Jinping’s plan to expand the reach of Chinese trade routes to Europe through a land route in Central Asia and a sea route through the Indian Ocean and around the horn of Africa – has taken center stage as a cornerstone of modern Chinese foreign policy. Access to Pakistan and Central Asia are crucial to ensure the success of these trade routes, which incidentally must start or pass through Tibet or Xinjiang, historically separatist provinces. This has put particularly urgent pressure on the Chinese government to bring stability to its westernmost regions.

Furthermore, the implementation of the OBOR policy comes at a critical time for China. Recent downturns in economic growth and output have put leaders such as Xi Jinping in a bind, spending a great deal of political capital to restrict and cripple any seeds of social dissent. On a geopolitical level, ensuring robust strategic control over Tibet has never been more essential, for both propaganda and economic reasons.

With that said, China’s newly planned Chengdu-Lhasa railway – over 2,000 km of tracks – would serve as a crucially efficient connection between Sichuan province in central China with the heart of Tibet. The construction of the railway was recently announced; such an infrastructural feat would facilitate rapid travel between the two locations, bringing a multi-day trip down to just fifteen hours. A recent report by The Economist cited a Chinese expert as saying the railroad could be feasibly completed by 2030.

The implications of this railway’s construction are particularly diverse, but they all center on a particular purpose: expedited control. In an age where social media platforms such as Twitter and Facebook can cause riots to explode into revolutions overnight (see: the Arab Spring), China must ensure that its ability to quickly muster a physical military presence can match the speed of modern rebellions. The Chengdu-Lhasa railway provides a means of quickly mobilizing armed forces and also facilitates the movement and migration of Han Chinese from more central regions of China into Tibet, a policy that China has long pushed in order to smother ethnic dissent.

This is not the first time that China has used “railway power projection” to assert its power in Tibet or Xinjiang. However, it is the most recent and the most ambitious project thus far. Most importantly, the timing of this undertaking highlights the effort and investment that Chinese leaders are willing to make to ensure that the crossroads of its budding OBOR policy remain firmly under Chinese control. Tibet is an important starting point for the China-Pakistan Economic Corridor (CPEC) and an equally important entryway to the Central Asian states where trade through the Caspian, Caucasus, and to Europe must begin.

As such, the construction of the Chengdu-Lhasa railway is separate from previous Chinese attempts to quell separatist movements. This time, there is much more at stake. The railway plays an important duality in optimizing China’s foreign and domestic geo-policy today: the necessity of political stability within its borders to ensure economic success from the outside.

Tibet Awareness – India-Tibet Border Trade

The Story of Tibet relates to The Origin of Man. Mount Kailash in Tibet is associated with The Beginning of Anatomically Modern Man.

In 1973, I served in the Himalayan Frontier region of Garhwal and Kumaon Hills of Uttaranchal/Uttarkhand (then part of Uttar Pradesh), India, that shares border with Tibet and Nepal. As per Indian tradition, the origin of Human Family is associated with Mount Kailash in Tibet, the abode of Lord Shiva and His consort Goddess Parvati who are viewed as the Original Father and Mother of mankind. Tibet’s Identity is known to Indians for centuries and Tibet Awareness cannot be wiped out of India’s Consciousness.

Whole Trouble – The Modern Face of Tibet fails to hide the Ugly Face of Occupation

Modern Face of Trouble in Tibet – New Dimension to the Ugly Face of Occupation

Tibet in recent decades is transformed beyond recognition. Modern Face of Tibet is in fact Modern Face of Trouble in Tibet. The Ugly Face of Occupation that manifested in 1950s has acquired New Dimension. Where can we find true or real face of Tibet? Not in Apartment buildings, not in highways, not in railroads, not in airports, not in business malls, not in hotels, and not in factories that find place on Tibetan Soil.

Modern face of Tibet

Sleek apartments, highways, civic facilities and cultural centres dot the far-flung region.

In Shannon County, just across Arunachal Pradesh border, a dressed-up Tsedang town, 200 km from Lhasa, wakes up to the roar of blasts early morning. It is the base of China’s People’s Liberation Army (PLA). Upon enquiry, four Indian journalists, given access to the region for the first time, were told that mountains were being blasted to clear way for an expansive railway network to link up Lhasa to strategically significant points along the disputed border with India, close to Arunachal Pradesh, also branching out to Nepal, Bhutan and Sikkim. Travelling along the banks of river Brahmaputra or Yarlung Zangbo, one could see Chinese engineers engaged in building the railway network at breakneck speed.
On the banks of a recently constructed artificial lake in Lhasa, a new city is coming up. A Nepali journalist, who had visited Tibetan capital in 2002, is aghast at the sight of its changed fortunes. He recalls that a decade ago, Lhasa was a dingy hamlet with thatched mud and wooden houses under the iconic Potala Palace. The city has been rebuilt. Apartments, new markets and shopping malls are being built at a feverish pace. But nobody knows for whom? The buzz is that Beijing is set to throw a surprise to the world, by opening up Tibet to foreigners. It is also believed that Beijing will soon project Tibet as a major trade hub between China and South Asia.

The 1,118-km eastern link connecting China’s fourth largest city of Chengdu to Lhasa opened last year. It has new townships built deep in treacherous mountains every 60 km, indicative of future economic activity. The Chinese transport ministry has affirmed that it will expand road network to 110,000 km by 2020 in the Tibetan Autonomous Region (TAR) alone. It also plans to complete a network of railways of 1,300 km by the same year (the end of the 13th Five-Year Plan) and build several new airports. In all, over $13 billion have been already invested in transportation in Tibet in the last 20 years.
Ideological communism has not gone deep within Tibetan population. In markets or even at their work places, one could see them turning prayer beads, reciting Buddhist scriptures. The house of the village head Tawa at Kesong village in Shannon County has both red (communist) as well as Buddhist flags fluttering atop his house.
Ever since China’s “reform and opening up” process began in the early 1980s, Beijing has used Buddhism as a political tool to promote its soft power both at home and abroad. Many Tibetans also feel that President Xi Jinping’s mother and wife are sympathetic to Buddhism and have openly engaged with lamas. Popular Buddhist temples, be that Jhokan Monastery, Changzhug Monastery or Sangpiling Monastery, are brimming with believers.
China is also helping Nepal in promoting Lumbini as the centre of Buddhism over Bodh Gaya, much to the chagrin of India. The four sacred temples located at four holy sites in China linked to the enlightenment of the Bodhisatvas — Guanyin (Avalokiteshwara), Wenshu (Manjushri), Puxian (Samantabhadra) and Dizang Wang (Kshitigarbha) — have also become active.
When Indian journalists were touring Tibet, two events reported extensively in the Chinese press didn’t go unnoticed. One was about raising the Tibet Military Command’s authority level and putting it under the jurisdiction of the People’s Liberation Army (PLA) ground forces, which marks not only an expansion of their function and mission, but also improving their command ability.
Another significant development was flagging off a 43-coach international freight train from Lanzhou, the capital of China’s northwest Gansu province, for Tibet carrying 83 cargo containers to Nepal. The train will stop at Xigaze, the nearest Tibetan town to Nepal, from where the goods will be transported to the Nepal by road. The whole journey will take 10 days. The journey includes 2,431 kilometres of rail transport and 564 kilometres of road transport and is virtually aimed at reducing Nepal’s dependence on India. Lhasa is already abundant with Nepali waiters serving at five start hotels as well as shopkeepers. Lhasa has now a direct flight from Kathmandu.
Jigme Wangtso, TAR director of Information, refutes charges that a demographic profile was being changed in the region. Out of the total 3 million population, Tibetans account for 2.71 million (92%). The Han are just 245,200 (8%). Muslims also form a small minority, but are officially recognised as Tibetans unlike the Hui Muslims, who have a separate identity. They are called Kachee, literally meaning Kashmiri in Tibetan, who may have migrated and married into local Tibetan community hundreds of years ago.
China’s money muscle in Tibet is on full display. But there are others who say that construction activity and building an enormous infrastructure was linked to fighting glut in the market. Chinese economy has entered into a phase where domestic consumption is required. Since people’s purchasing power cannot be increased overnight, state authorities are investing in building assets and also to keep up demand for cement and steel.
As I was resting on the stairs of Potala Palace, the seat of Dalai Lama, currently in exile, an elderly Tibetan tried to converse in broken English.. “You Indian.. Dharamsala… Namaste to Dalai. Convey him to return and stay in this Palace,” he said. In Tibet University, while climbing stairs, a graffiti caught our attention, reading, “Darkest hour is before dawn.” China has literally paved the roads of Tibet with gold. But is economic prosperity an alternative to freedom and the struggle for self-determination? The debate goes on. If Chinese succeed, it will be a lesson for our leaders as well.

THE TIBET MUSEUM PORTRAYS “TRUTH ABOUT TIBET’S HISTORY”: SIKYONG

The Tibet Museum portrays “truth about Tibet’s history”: Sikyong

Tibet post International

Wednesday, 18 May 2016 14:33 Shalkie, Tibet Post International

Dharamshala — The Tibet Museum of Department of Information and International Relations, CTA, commenced it’s three-day celebration of 39th International Museum Day by launching the museum’s exhibition catalog, “A Long Look Homeward” and a promotional video.

Sikyong Dr Lobsang Sangay was the chief-guest and launched the catalog. Mr Sonam N. Dagpo, Secretary of DIIR launched the promotional video of the museum. The Tibet Museum was established in 1998 and graced by His Holiness Dalai Lama, with the purpose to document, preserve, research, exhibit and educate on the matters related to Tibetan history, culture and the present issue.

The event saw Dr Sangay, Mr Tashi Phuntsok, Secretary of DIIR and Mr Tashi Phuntsok Director of the Tibet Museum addressing the audience on the importance and success of the museum in preserving the Tibetan culture, heritage and the stories of undying struggles of Tibetan people under the Chinese oppression. The museum is the proof of China’s attempts to create a false image of contentment and prosperity in Tibet.

Speaking to TPI, Sikyong said “Tibet issue is an issue of truth and justice. Truth is on our side and Justice is what we deserve, so this is the truth about Tibet’s history, this is the truth about occupation and oppression. China’s narrative says that Tibet is happy and content with the Chinese government. This is our true narrative in response to Chinese narrative.”

His message to the current world leaders regarding their passive approach towards the Tibet issue is “What Tibetans are facing and suffering is real so if they see, they must stand for the basic principles of their country which they claim to be democracy and freedom for all”.

Every year May 18th is celebrated as International Museum Day with the participation 142 countries and more than 35,000 museums.

Whole Tyrant – Red China’s Cultural Warfare on Tibet

Red China’s Cultural Warfare on Tibet

Red China’s Communist Party Chairman Mao Zedong initiated Cultural Warfare on Tibet as part of his Campaign called ‘Cultural Revolution’ that started on May 16, 1966. This brutal Campaign of Cultural Repression, Political Oppression, and Economic Suppression to wipe out Tibetan Identity continues unabated. Cultural Revolution is not a relic of China’s past history. I ask people to break their silence to oppose Red China’s Cultural Warfare on Tibet.

THE WASHINGTON POST

CHINESE PAPERS BREAK SILENCE ON CULTURAL REVOLUTION, SAYING IT COULD NOT, WOULD NOT HAPPEN AGAIN

By EMILY RAUHALA MAY 17, 2016.

**Red China’s Cultural Warfare on Tibet. Chinese citizens view writings and slogans in 1967 at the height of the decade-long Cultural Revolution. (AP Photo)**

Trust us, they say, the past is in the past.

Two newspapers linked to the Communist Party have broken the silence on the 50th anniversary of the Cultural Revolution, publishing editorials meant to assure readers that the party has granted the country “immunity” from political chaos and social unrest.

The editorials, published by the state-owned People’s Daily and the Global Times, were rare public comments on a decade-long disaster that former party chairman Mao Zedong unleashed and that his party now prefers to play down, recast or ignore.

But the articles broke no new ground, rehashing the official line determined by a clutch of cadres in a 1981 resolution.In it, they condemned the violence of the era, blamed Mao and his close associates, and advised everyone to move on. The Chinese people never got a say.

In a piece published Tuesday, the People’s Daily hewed closely to the old line, noting that “history always advances.”
“There will not be re-enactment of a mistake like the Cultural Revolution,” it said.

An editorial in the Global Times, a newspaper known for its nationalist tone, hit at the same theme more forcefully: “We have bid farewell to the Cultural Revolution. We can say it once again today that the Cultural Revolution cannot and will not come back.”

The papers aim to instill confidence. They tell readers that what was decided in 1981 was not contingency or compromise but “unshakably scientific and authoritative” fact. They emphasize that the Chinese people have decided, unequivocally, to push ahead.

This is standard policy on several historical questions, from the Great Famine to the Tiananmen Square protests. As a result, when party papers write boldly about eyes fixed forward, it casts our gaze back, reminding us of how China’s past is shaping the present — and spooking the ruling party along the way.

Over the years, some survivors of that brutal decade have come forward to tell their stories, calling for truth and accountability, wanting to address old wounds. Under President Xi Jinping, though, the space for reflection has narrowed.

Xi has moved in many ways to bolster Mao’s reputation, drawing a single line between revolutionary struggle, World War II and the era of “national rejuvenation” that he says is underway.
But Xi, a survivor of the Cultural Revolution, knows well that marshaling Mao is dangerous business; when you invite people to rally around the party’s founder, you risk overshadowing the party itself.

The truth is that the party’s stance on the Cultural Revolution is not accepted as fact.

It is questioned by survivors who want their trauma acknowledged and by neo-Maoists who think talk of “calamity” is overblown. Some see shades of Mao in Xi’s moves to consolidate power; others dismiss the comparison outright.

In an editorial published in the run-up to the anniversary, even the Global Times acknowledged the split, saying the Cultural Revolution “remains divisive” and has become a “proxy” for clashes between “rightists” and “leftists” debating “China’s political route.”

Which is why Tuesday’s twin editorials seem to open, not close, the question of what the Cultural Revolution means and what that, in turn, means for the party.
The party asks for faith. Its papers beg the question: Does it yet trust itself?

CHINA WAS SILENT ON ITS 50th ANNIVERSARY OF THE CULTURAL REVOLUTION

**TROUBLE IN TIBET – NEVER ENDING CULTURAL REVOLUTION. TIANANMEN SQUARE, BEIJING ON MAY 16, 2016. 50th ANNIVERSARY OF THE CULTURAL REVOLUTION.**

Reuters/Kim Kyung-Hoon Paramilitary solders stand guard at Tiananmen Square where the portrait of late Chinese chairman Mao Zedong is seen, on the 50th anniversary of the start of the Cultural Revolution in Beijing, China, May 16, 2016.

Mainland media met the 50th anniversary of the start of the Cultural Revolution with silence in a reflection of Beijing’s eagerness to contain discussion and avoid embarrassment over one of the most tumultuous periods in Chinese history.

A party directive issued on May 16, 1966, that launched a campaign to rid the country of “representatives of the bourgeoisie” plunged the nation into 10 years of turmoil and violent class struggle that would leave at least 1.72 million dead.

In a speech on China’s economy first made public last Tuesday, President Xi Jinping called the revolution a “decade of catastrophe” that had stalled the country’s industrialization.

But when the anniversary arrived, while international media dug through photo and story archives to provide extensive coverage, official Chinese outlets such as People’s Daily stayed away from the topic.

The website ifeng.com, which belongs to the Hong Kong-based Phoenix Media Group, briefly ran a piece featuring street interviews with people on the mainland, asking them their thoughts on the revolution.

One woman, asked for the worst part of the revolution, replied that it was the Nanking Massacre – an event which in fact happened almost 30 years earlier, in 1937 during the Japanese invasion of China.
A man said he had no memory of what happened in “ancient times,” while some said they would take part in the revolution because “everyone was doing it.”

This month’s publication of Yanhuang Chunqiu, a monthly political magazine run by party liberals, was delayed a week as its editors and censor disagreed over articles on the revolution. One article was removed, a source close to the magazine said.

No official commemoration was held on the mainland, following the lead of previous anniversary dates, and online discussions on Weibo were censored.
Foreign ministry spokesman Hong Lei offered a single sentence in response to a question about the anniversary in yesterday’s daily press briefing.

“The Chinese government already made the correct verdict on it long ago,” Hong said.

MOTHER OF FIVE DIED IN 145th KNOWN TIBET SELF-IMMOLATION PROTESTS

**Atlas of Emotions – Knowing Emotions of Sonam Tso Tibetan Mother of Five. Where is her Mind Map? Was she thinking of Freedom??? Is it Fear or Defiance of Chinese Rule???**

(TibetanReview.net, May 08, 2016) – A belated report caused by China’s clampdown on communication channels and tight restrictions on the local people says a Tibetan mother of five died after she carried out a protest self-immolation near a monastery in Dzoege (Chinese: Ruo’ergai) County of Ngaba (Aba) Prefecture, Sichuan Province, on Mar 23.

Sonam Tso, believed to be in her 50s, told her husband, Kelsang Gyatso, who was walking with her on the circuit path running around Dzoege’s Sera Monastery, to go keep going while she proceeded to a nearby prayer-wheel room, promising to catch up with him later, said Dharamshala-based Tibetan Centre for Human Rights and Democracy (TCHRD) May 7. However, the woman, who belonged to Dotsa Village in the county’s Akyi Township, then set herself alight.

“A young monk heard her call out for the return of the Dalai Lama (Tibet’s exiled spiritual leader) and for freedom for Tibet as she burned,” the Tibetan Service of Radio Free Asia (Washington) Jun 6 quoted a local source as saying.

The young monk and Tso’s husband, alerted by the monk’s shout that a self-immolation had taken place, rushed to her and struggled to put out the flames. An elderly monk named Tsultrim, Tso’s uncle, then took her inside the monastery. She was later put in a vehicle to be taken to hospital but died while still in the monastery compound.

Following the incident, Chinese police detained Tso’s uncle for eight days for discussing the incident with other people. They forced him to delete the photos he had taken of Tso’s protest. Tso’s husband was also reported to have been called in for questioning three times.

Besides her husband, Tso is said to be survived by two sons and three daughters.

Tso’s action, which came after nearly a month since a young monk burned himself and died in the province’s Kardze (Ganzi) Prefecture, brings to 145 the number of known such self-immolations across Chinese ruled Tibet since 2009.

TCHRD said Sonam Tso had left a message before her self-immolation, but its contents remain unknown.

Tibet-Minyak-2016-212 — **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.

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.

Whole Trouble – Red China’s Hydropower Projects in Occupied Tibet

Trouble in Tibet – Red China’s Hydropower Projects in Occupied Tibet

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.

The design capacity is more than double that of the Zangmu hydropower plant on Brahmaputra river which Tibet’s largest existing hydro project.
It was completed in October last year. It is hoped that the 18 billion yuan (USD 3 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, Hong Kong-based South China Morning Post quoted Chinese media as saying.
