THE LIVING TIBETAN SPIRITS WILL NOT BE TAKEN IN BY CHINESE LIES

The Living Tibetan Spirits will not be taken in by Chinese lies. China’s military conquest of Tibet cannot be described as ‘Peaceful Liberation’. China’s ‘Socialist System’ cannot conceal the fact of Tibet’s Colonization. China’s Information Warfare aims to subjugate Tibet by compromising Tibetan Identity in every conceivable manner. The Living Tibetan Spirits asks the global community to reject China’s Diabolical Campaign of Lies, Deception, Wickedness, and Cunningness.

China warns Tibetans not to be taken in ahead of Dalai Lama anniversary

BEIJING (Reuters) – The people of Tibet should not be taken in by the Dalai Lama’s lies and clearly understand the importance of Communist Party rule in the region, the Chinese government said ahead of March’s sensitive 60th anniversary of him fleeing into exile.

Beijing sent troops into Tibet in 1950 in what it officially terms a peaceful liberation and has ruled there with an iron fist ever since.

The Dalai Lama, the highest figure in Tibetan Buddhism, fled into exile to India in 1959 after a failed uprising against Chinese rule.

China routinely denounces him as a dangerous separatist, although the Dalai Lama says he merely wants genuine autonomy for his remote and mountainous homeland.

The official Tibet Daily said in a lengthy commentary released online late on Thursday the 83-year-old Dalai Lama had never given up promoting Tibetan independence, dismissing his intentions to seek a “middle way” of genuine autonomy.

“Whether it’s the ‘middle way’ or a ‘high degree of autonomy’, the aim is to try to negate the leadership of the party, negate the socialist system, and negate the ethnic autonomous region system,” the paper wrote.

It said the Dalai Lama has tried to use hostile forces in the Western media to spread his “rumors and slander” against China to promote Tibetan independence, ignoring the freedoms and respect accorded to the people of Tibet.

“In the face of the lies of the 14th Dalai Lama, the various people of Tibet should be even more aware that socialist new Tibet replacing the theistic and feudal system of old Tibet was a historical necessity, and a victory for the truth and the people,” the paper wrote.

The head of the Tibetan-government-in-exile based in northern India denounced the criticism of the Dalai Lama and said he was the solution to the Tibetan problem because most Tibetans accept him as their leader.

“Intimidation and fear are not the ways to govern Tibetans. Even after 60 years of occupation, the Chinese government is using these techniques,” Lobsang Sangay told Reuters in the hill station of Dharamsala.

The Dalai Lama on Friday gave a lecture in Mumbai on ancient Indian knowledge but did not directly mention current relations with China.

“Violence always brings suffering,” he said, in comments streamed live on his Facebook page. “Basic human nature is more compassionate.”

Sangay said the Dalai Lama’s middle way was a win-win situation seeking autonomy for the Tibetans within the framework of the Chinese constitution and called for talks between his envoys and the representatives of the Chinese government to address the 60-year-old issue.

DIFFICULT SITUATION

Rights groups say the situation for ethnic Tibetans inside what China calls the Tibet Autonomous Region remains extremely difficult.

The U.N. High Commissioner for Human Rights said in June conditions were “fast deteriorating” in Tibet.

This week, the U.S. Senate passed the Reciprocal Access to Tibet Act, which now goes to the White House for President Donald Trump to sign into law.

That act seeks to promote access to Tibet for U.S. diplomats and other officials, journalists, and other citizens by denying entry into the United States for Chinese officials deemed responsible for restricting access to Tibet.

Chinese Foreign Ministry spokesman Lu Kang said the bill was an interference in China’s domestic affairs and they had already made “stern representations” to the United States about it.

Many foreigners visit Tibet every year, with almost 40,000 trips by Americans there since 2015, including by senior U.S. politicians, showing there was no reason for this bill, he told a daily news briefing.

China urges the United States to prevent the bill becoming law to avoid harming bilateral relations, Lu added.

All foreigners need special permission to enter Tibet, which is generally granted for tourists but very infrequently for foreign diplomats and journalists.

U.S. EMPLOYEE DATA BREACH TIED TO CHINESE INTELLIGENCE


By Joseph Menn

SAN FRANCISCO (Reuters) – The Chinese hacking group suspected of stealing sensitive information about millions of current and former U.S. government employees has a different mission and organizational structure than the military hackers who have been accused of other U.S. data breaches, according to people familiar with the matter.

While the Chinese People’s Liberation Army typically goes after defense and trade secrets, this hacking group has repeatedly accessed data that could be useful to Chinese counter-intelligence and internal stability, said two people close to the U.S. investigation.

Washington has not publicly accused Beijing of orchestrating the data breach at the U.S. Office of Personnel Management (OPM), and China has dismissed as “irresponsible and unscientific” any suggestion that it was behind the attack.

Sources told Reuters that the hackers employed a rare tool to take remote control of computers, dubbed Sakula, that was also used in the data breach at U.S. health insurer Anthem Inc last year.

The Anthem attack, in turn, has been tied to a group that security researchers said is affiliated with China’s Ministry of State Security, which is focused on government stability, counter-intelligence and dissidents. The ministry could not immediately be reached for comment.

In addition, U.S. investigators believe the hackers registered the deceptively named OPM-Learning.org website to try to capture employee names and passwords, in the same way that Anthem, formerly known as Wellpoint, was subverted with spurious websites such as We11point.com, which used the number “1” instead of the letter “l”.

Both the Anthem and OPM breaches used malicious software electronically signed as safe with a certificate stolen from DTOPTOOLZ Co, a Korean software company, the people close to the inquiry said. DTOPTOOLZ said it had no involvement in the data breaches.

The FBI did not respond to requests for comment. People familiar with its investigation said Sakula had only been seen in use by a small number of Chinese hacking teams.

“Chinese law prohibits hacking attacks and other such behaviors which damage Internet security,” China’s Foreign Ministry said in a statement. “The Chinese government takes resolute strong measures against any kind of hacking attack. We oppose baseless insinuations against China.”

MANY UNKNOWNS

THE EVIL RED EMPIRE - RED CHINA - CYBERSPACE INVASION OF UNITED STATES OFFICE OF PERSONNEL MANAGEMENT . — **THE EVIL RED EMPIRE – RED CHINA – CYBERSPACE INVASION OF UNITED STATES OFFICE OF PERSONNEL MANAGEMENT .**

Most of the biggest U.S. cyber attacks blamed on China have been attributed, with varying degrees of certitude, to elements of the Chinese army. In the most dramatic case two years ago, the U.S. Justice Department indicted five PLA officers for alleged economic espionage.

Far less is known about the OPM hackers, and security researchers have differing views about the size of the group and what other attacks it is responsible for.

People close to the OPM investigation said the same group was behind Anthem and other insurance breaches. But they are not yet sure which part of the Chinese government is responsible.

“We are seeing a group that is only targeting personal information,” said Laura Gigante, manager of threat intelligence at FireEye Inc, which has worked on a number of the high-profile network intrusions.

CrowdStrike and other security companies, however, say the Anthem hackers also engaged in stealing defense and industry trade secrets. CrowdStrike calls the group “Deep Panda,” EMC Corp’s RSA security division dubs it “Shell Crew,” and other firms have picked different names.

The OPM breach gave hackers access to U.S. government job applicants’ security clearance forms detailing past drug use, love affairs, and foreign contacts that officials fear could be used for blackmail or recruiting.

In contrast to hacking outfits associated with the Chinese army, “Deep Panda” appears to be affiliated with the Ministry of State Security, said CrowdStrike co-founder Dmitri Alperovitch.

Information about U.S. spies in China would logically be a top priority for the ministry, Alperovitch said, adding that “Deep Panda’s” tools and techniques have also been used to monitor democracy protesters in Hong Kong.

An executive at one of the first companies to connect the Anthem and OPM compromises, ThreatConnect, said the disagreements about the boundaries of “Deep Panda” could reflect a different structure than that in top-down military units.

“We think it’s likely a cohort of Chinese actors, a bunch of mini-groups that are handled by one main benefactor,” said Rich Barger, co-founder of ThreatConnect, adding that the group could get software tools and other resources from a common supplier.

“We think this series of activity over time is a little more distributed, and that is why there is not a broad consensus as to the beginning and end of this group.”

THE EVIL RED EMPIRE – RED CHINA VS VIETNAM

THE EVIL RED EMPIRE – RED CHINA VS VIETNAM

People of Vietnam fought prolonged battles with French and later United States. In my assessment, Vietnamese people are driven by a sense of nationalism and they never belonged to either Soviet or Red China brand of Communism. Vietnam is getting ready to face the military challenge imposed by Red China’s Expansionist Policy. Special Frontier Force wanted to support United States during Vietnam War and it is not a desire to engage people of Vietnam in a battle. Vietnam War represented an opportunity to engage Red China in a battle and weaken her ability to supply arms and ammunition to North Vietnam across a border they share. As Vietnam prepares to defend against Red China’s aggressive behavior, Special Frontier Force will be willing to join hands with people of Vietnam in a confrontation that will halt Red China’s empire building activity.

Vietnam fishermen ‘attacked by Chinese boats’: state media

A Vietnamese fishing crew said they were attacked by a Chinese vessel using water cannon in disputed waters near the flash point Paracel Islands, Vietnam’s state media reported Monday.

The wooden Vietnamese fishing boat from central Quang Ngai province was near the Paracels — known as Hoang Sa in Vietnamese — on June 7 when it was attacked by a red-and-white painted Chinese vessel, the Lao Dong newspaper said.

“The crew signalled to the (Chinese) boat not to use water cannon as they feared their boat would sink, but they fired the water directly at them,” the report said.
One of the 13-man crew was knocked over and broke his leg during the altercation, the report said, quoting the crew.

A number of Vietnamese state-run newspapers ran photos of the sailor with his leg in plaster.
In a separate incident, on June 10, another Vietnamese fishing boat in the same area was surrounded by four Chinese boats and had their equipment and catch stolen, the Lao Dong newspaper said.

The communist neighbours are locked in a longstanding maritime dispute over islands and fishing rights in the South China Sea.

Last year, tensions came to a head when Beijing moved a deep water oil rig into waters claimed by Hanoi, triggering deadly anti-China riots in Vietnam.
Swept along by nationalist sentiment and forced to venture further out to sea to fill their nets, Vietnam’s commercial fishing fleet have often found themselves on the front lines of the maritime dispute.

Both Vietnam and China claim full sovereignty over the Paracel Islands, which Beijing have controlled since 1974 after seizing them from the then-South Vietnam regime in a brief battle.
China’s claim to almost the entire South China Sea conflicts with those of the Philippines, Vietnam, Malaysia and Taiwan.

Vietnam’s Ministry of Foreign Affairs did not immediately respond to a request for comment.

It surprises me to note that news media give attention to threats posed to national entities like Taiwan, Japan, Philippines, Indonesia, Malaysia, Vietnam, and Brunei but pay no attention to ‘The Great Problem of Tibet’. To provide some perspective on this issue, I ask my readers to compare the land area of these nations:

THE EVIL RED EMPIRE - RED CHINA - THE GREAT PROBLEM OF TIBET : TIBET HAS LAND AREA OF 870, 000 SQUARE MILES.

1. Taiwan – 13, 885 square miles.
2. Japan – 145, 856 square miles.
3. Philippines – 115, 830 square miles.
4. Indonesia – 741, 096 square miles.
5. Malaysia – 127, 355 square miles.
6. Vietnam – 125, 622 square miles.
7. Brunei – 2, 228 square miles.
8. TIBET – 870, 000 square miles.

Land area of Tibet includes Tibet Autonomous Region(TAR) and Tibetan territory annexed to Qinghai, Gansu, Sichuan, and Yunnan Provinces of People’s Republic of China. To give a better understanding of the size of Tibet, it may be compared to Texas, largest State in the coterminous United States. Land area of Texas is 268, 820 square miles. Tibet is larger than three States of Texas combined.

Special Frontier Force welcomes attention given to security risks posed by Red China to countries of Asia and those threats cannot be resolved without including solution to ‘The Great Problem of Tibet.’

KAOHSIUNG, Taiwan (Reuters) – Taiwan’s coast guard on Saturday commissioned its biggest ships for duty in the form of two 3,000-ton patrol vessels, as the island boosts defenses amid concerns about China’s growing footprint in the disputed South China Sea.

The new vessels will be able to dock at a new port being constructed on Taiping Island, the largest of the naturally occurring Spratly Islands in the South China Sea, before the end of this year.

Taiwan’s coast guard has had direct oversight of the 46-ha (114-acre) island, also known as Itu Aba, since 2000.

“Taiping Island’s defense capabilities will not be weak,” said Wang Chung-yi, minister of the Coast Guard Administration, referring to recent upgrading done on the 1,200-metre (yards) long airstrip on Taiping and the building of a new port, which he said could be completed as early as October this year.

“As far as Taiping Island is concerned, we still maintain not so much a military as a civil role,” Wang told Reuters in an interview in Taipei. Taiwan will not create conflict, but if it is provoked “we will not concede,” he said.

Taiwan Coast Guard patrol ships and helicopters from National Airborne Service Corps are seen during …

Unlike the Philippines and Vietnam, Taiwan has largely avoided becoming ensnared in public disputes with China over the South China Sea, through which $5 trillion in ship-borne trade passes every year.

Beijing claims most of the South China Sea, while the Philippines, Brunei, Malaysia, Taiwan and Vietnam also have overlapping claims.

Rival claims by Taiwan and China go back to before defeated Nationalists fled to Taiwan after losing a civil war with the Communists in 1949.
Beijing sees self-ruled Taiwan as a renegade province to be retaken one day and bans actions that would confer sovereignty, such as negotiating territorial disputes in the South China Sea.

Taiwan President Ma Ying-jeou boarded one of the new ships on Saturday, observing rescue drills in waters off the southern Taiwan port city of Kaohsiung.
One of the vessels will be sent to the South China Sea, while the other will be assigned to waters north of Taiwan where it has overlapping claims with Japan.

Japan’s Yomiuri newspaper reported on Saturday that Group of Seven leaders meeting in Germany on Sunday would express their concern over any unilateral action to change the status quo in the East and South China Seas.

China has been criticized for extensive reclamation work and moves to turn submerged rocks into man-made structures. The United States last week said Beijing had placed mobile artillery systems in contested territory.

Archenemy is a chief or important enemy. In Biblical literature, the Archenemy is called ‘SATAN’ or ‘THE DEVIL’. The term enemy refers to a nation or force hostile to another, a military adversary. For most people, the word enemy describes an unfriendly person. Red China stole personal information of millions of American citizens and those victims would be offended by that unfriendly act. Red China may have a reason to conduct spying missions or espionage to defend her national interests. But, most Americans whose personal information is stolen, would recognize Red China’s actions as unfriendly. Red China qualifies to the title of “ARCHENEMY” for her unfriendly actions that victimized millions of people in her own territory and in territories she occupied using her military power.

UNION: HACKERS HAVE PERSONNEL DATA ON EVERY FEDERAL EMPLOYEE

THE EVIL RED EMPIRE - RED CHINA - ARCHENEMY : RED CHINA'S CYBERSPYING IS UNFRIENDLY ACT AND MILLIONS OF AMERICAN VICTIMS WOULD VIEW RED CHINA AS "ENEMY." — THE EVIL RED EMPIRE – RED CHINA – ARCHENEMY : RED CHINA’S CYBERSPYING IS UNFRIENDLY ACT AND MILLIONS OF AMERICAN VICTIMS WOULD VIEW RED CHINA AS “ENEMY.”

Union: Hackers have personnel data on every federal employee

By KEN DILANIAN

WASHINGTON (AP) — Hackers stole personnel data and Social Security numbers for every federal employee, a government worker union said Thursday, saying that the cyber theft of U.S. employee information was more damaging than the Obama administration has acknowledged.

Sen. Harry Reid, the Democratic leader, said on the Senate floor that the December hack into Office of Personnel Management data was carried out by “the Chinese” without specifying whether he meant the Chinese government or individuals. Reid is one of eight lawmakers briefed on the most secret intelligence information. U.S. officials have declined to publicly blame China, which has denied involvement.

J. David Cox, president of the American Federation of Government Employees, said in a letter to OPM director Katherine Archuleta that based on OPM’s internal briefings, “We believe that the Central Personnel Data File was the targeted database, and that the hackers are now in possession of all personnel data for every federal employee, every federal retiree, and up to one million former federal employees.”

The OPM data file contains the records of non-military, non-intelligence executive branch employees, which covers most federal civilian employees but not, for example, members of Congress and their staffs.

The union believes the hackers stole military records and veterans’ status information, address, birth date, job and pay history, health insurance, life insurance and pension information; and age, gender and race data, he said. The letter was obtained by The Associated Press.

The union said it is basing its assessment on internal OPM briefings. The agency has sought to downplay the damage, saying what was taken “could include” personnel file information such as Social Security numbers and birth dates.

“We believe that Social Security numbers were not encrypted, a cybersecurity failure that is absolutely indefensible and outrageous,” Cox said in the letter. The union called the breach “an abysmal failure on the part of the agency to guard data that has been entrusted to it by the federal workforce.”

Samuel Schumach, an OPM spokesman, said that “for security reasons, we will not discuss specifics of the information that might have been compromised.”
The central personnel data file contains up to 780 separate pieces of information about an employee.

Cox complained in the letter that “very little substantive information has been shared with us, despite the fact that we represent more than 670,000 federal employees in departments and agencies throughout the executive branch.”

The union’s release and Reid’s comment in the Senate put into sharper focus what is looking like a massive cyber espionage success by China. Sen. Susan Collins, an intelligence committee member, has also said the hack came from China.

The U.S. Office of Personnel Management building in Washington June 5, 2015.

Mike Rogers, the former chairman of the House intelligence committee, said last week that Chinese intelligence agencies have for some time been seeking to assemble a database of information about Americans. Those personal details can be used for blackmail, or also to shape bogus emails designed to appear legitimate while injecting spyware on the networks of government agencies or businesses Chinese hackers are trying to penetrate.

U.S. intelligence officials say China, like the U.S., spies for national security advantage. Unlike the U.S., they say, China also engages in large-scale theft of corporate secrets for the benefit of state-sponsored enterprises that compete with Western companies. Nearly every major U.S. company has been hacked from China, they say.

The Office of Personnel Management is also a repository for extremely sensitive information assembled through background investigations of employees and contractors who hold security clearances. OPM’s Schumach has said there is “no evidence” that information was taken. But there is growing skepticism among intelligence agency employees and contractors about that claim.

In the Senate on Thursday, Democrats blocked a Republican effort to add a cybersecurity bill to a sweeping defense measure. The vote was 56-40, four votes short of the number necessary.

Democrats had warned of the dangers of cyberspying after the theft of government personnel files, but Democrats voted against moving ahead on the legislation, frustrated with the GOP-led effort to tie the two bills together. President Barack Obama has threatened to veto the defense legislation over budget changes by the GOP.

“The issue of cybersecurity is simply too important to be used as a political chit and tucked away in separate legislation.” said Sen. Chris Coons, D-Del.

THE EVIL RED EMPIRE – RED CHINA – LIAR

Liar refers to a person who tells lies. Red China, a national entity has chosen a State Policy to conduct her affairs telling lies. The term ‘LIE’ describes a statement that one knows is false, and is especially made with intent to deceive. Red China is an habitual liar for she makes such false statements deliberately with intent to deceive her gullible neighbors. Tibet agreed to sign Seventeen Point or 17-Article Agreement for the Peaceful Liberation of Tibet on May 23, 1951 fully trusting lies, false assurances, and fraudulent promises given by Red China. Similarly, Republic of India agreed to sign ‘Panchsheel Agreement’ in 1954, fully trusting lies mouthed by Red China. The act of deception means to bring, put, or accomplish something by lying. Red China has mastered The Art of Deception and she makes statements that have characteristics such as 1. Prevaricate: to quibble or confuse the issue in order to evade the truth, 2. Equivocate: implies the deliberate use of ambiguity in order to deceive or mislead, 3. Fabricate: suggests invention of a false story, excuse, etc., intended to deceive, 4. Subterfuge: suggests an artifice or stratagem used to deceive others and to evade something, or gain some personal benefit at cost of another person or entity, and 5. Trickery: implies the use of tricks or ruses in deceiving others.

For Red China is a born Liar, she uses ‘DECEPTION’ as her State Policy and she dishonestly deprives others of their property, rights, freedom, etc.,

PENTAGON CHIEF URGES CHINA TO STOP ISLAND BUILDING

Washington (AFP) – US Secretary of Defense Ashton Carter called Thursday on Beijing to stop building artificial islands in the disputed waters of the South China Sea, as he hosted a top Chinese general.

The visit to the Pentagon of General Fan Changlong, vice chairman of China’s Central Military Commission, was relatively low-key amid simmering tensions over the maritime dispute and a massive hack of US federal employees.

China insists it has sovereignty over nearly all of the South China Sea, a major global shipping route believed to be home to oil and gas reserves, but rival claimants accuse it of expansionism.

“Carter reiterated US concerns on the South China Sea and called on China and all claimants to implement a lasting halt on land reclamation, cease further militarization and pursue a peaceful resolution of territorial disputes in accordance with international law,” the Pentagon said in a statement.

Carter had previously accused China of being out of step with international rules in its conduct in the South China Sea.
Unlike previous trips, including one last year, there was no joint press conference.

“The Chinese did request that there not be a lot of media attention around this trip,” Pentagon spokesman Colonel Steven Warren said.
Also raising tensions is this month’s revelation by the US government that hackers accessed the personal data of at least four million current and former federal employees.

The vast cyberattack is suspected to have originated in China, though Beijing has said the charge was “irresponsible” and stressed that Chinese laws prohibit cybercrimes.
Prior to visiting Washington, Fan went to California and Texas.

His trip is part of a years-long effort to build a regular dialogue between the American and Chinese armed forces to defuse potential tensions and avoid miscalculations.
Carter’s predecessor, Chuck Hagel, visited China in 2014 in a trip that was marked by friction, with each side trading sharply worded criticism.

THE EVIL RED EMPIRE – RED CHINA – POLLUTER

THE EVIL RED EMPIRE – RED CHINA – POLLUTER

The word ‘pollute’ means to make unclean, impure, corrupt, defile, contaminate, dirty by releasing harmful ideas, wicked practices, immoral and unethical conduct apart from the usual meaning of a harmful chemical or waste material recklessly discharged into water, land, and air. Red China is guilty of both kinds of pollution and hence I acknowledge Red China as a “POLLUTER.”

My concern is not about Karl Marx’s philosophy called ‘Dialectical Materialism’. My concern is about Red China’s immoral conduct and behavior. My concern is about Red China’s use of Intimidation, Infiltration, and Internal Subversion to inject her Communist Doctrine into Land of Tibet which she had illegally occupied since 1950s using her superior military power. Red China constantly intimidates Tibetan people to make them afraid, to make them timid, and to force them or deter them with threats and use of brutal violence. Red China uses the policy of Intimidation to completely undermine ability of Tibetans to resist military occupation. The policy of Intimidation is not working and Tibetans responded with patience and perseverance to resist Red China’s military occupation.

Red China, A Jackal, knows several tricks or ruses to conquer her opponents. Red China is using a strategy called ‘Infiltration’ to subjugate Tibetan people. Infiltration involves penetrating a group or a region gradually or stealthily so as to attack or to seize control from within. In military strategy, Infiltration describes passing through weak places in the defense lines in order to attack defender’s flanks or rear. Red China used a frontal attack and had overcome opposition to her military power when she occupied Tibet in 1950. However, Red China failed to exercise control or influence the minds of Tibetan people. Tibetan National Identity and Tibetan National Character is resisting corrupting influences introduced by Foreign Conqueror. Tibet is displaying strength, and resilience in refusing to embrace evil, wicked, depraved, dishonest dealings and behavior of Communists. The word ‘CORRUPTION’ means a change from sound condition to an unsound condition. The effect or consequence of Corruption is described as rotten, spoiled, contaminated, deteriorated, debased, perverted, venal, or depraved condition as compared to normal standards and perceptions of morality and ethical behavior.

Red China is a Seven-headed Scarlet Beast and in her passionate desire to possess Tibet; to dominate, to control, and to influence Tibetan people Red China is using a Communist tactic called “Internal Subversion.” Subversion is a mechanism used to ruin, destroy, or overthrow an established government, institution, belief, etc., using the tool called Corruption. Red China is using Subversion as a means to undermine or corrupt established social, cultural, religious, political, and belief ‘Systems’ of Tibet to overthrow, destroy, and ruin Tibetan National Identity, Tibetan National Character that continues to resist Red China’s Communist Doctrine and Ideology.

The controversy about Tibetan Panchen Lama is evidence of Red China’s wicked practice called ‘Internal Subversion’.

China’s Panchen Lama promises Xi he will uphold national unity

Gyaltsen Norbu (R), the 11th Panchen Lama, speaks with a delegate ahead of the opening of the third plenary …

BEIJING (Reuters) – A youth named by China as the second-highest figure in Tibetan Buddhism, but reviled as a fake by many Tibetans, on Wednesday told President Xi Jinping he backed national unity and would strive to meet the Communist Party’s expectations.

Although officially atheist, China selected Gyaltsen Norbu as the 11th Panchen Lama in 1995, in a drive to win the hearts and minds of Tibetans.

Tibet’s current spiritual leader, the Dalai Lama, had announced his own choice of a six-year-old boy, but he was taken away by authorities and has since vanished from public view.
This year marks not only the 20th anniversary of the boy’s disappearance, but also the 80th birthday of the Dalai Lama, who has lived in exile in India since fleeing Tibet in 1959 following an abortive uprising against Chinese rule.

It is also the 50th anniversary of the founding of what China calls the Tibet Autonomous Region.

At a meeting in the party’s Zhongnanhai leadership compound in central Beijing, China’s Panchen Lama told Xi he would “resolutely uphold the unity of the motherland and its people”, state television said in its main evening news bulletin.

He would “not fail to live up to the ardent expectations of the party and people”, the report added.

Xi said the party paid great attention to events in Tibet, and would send a delegation to mark 50 years of the founding of the autonomous region.

“Tomorrow will be even better for all the people of Tibet,” Xi said, adding that he hoped China’s Panchen Lama would promote patriotism and uphold national unity.
China has gradually exposed its Panchen Lama in public roles in the hope he will achieve the respect commanded by the Dalai Lama among Tibetans and globally, and in 2012 he made his first trip outside mainland China when he visited Hong Kong.

Chinese troops marched into Tibet in 1950. After the Dalai Lama fled, the 10th Panchen Lama stayed on and was initially seen as a collaborator, but it later emerged that his criticism of Beijing had earned him more than a decade spent either in prison or under house arrest.
Freed in 1977, he was politically rehabilitated the following year, and died in 1989.

Activists say China has violently tried to stamp out religious freedom and culture in Tibet, which remains under heavy security. China rejects the criticism, saying its rule has ended serfdom and brought development to a backward region.
