RED CHINA’S CULTURAL WARFARE ON TIBET. APART FROM MILITARY CAMPAIGN TO OCCUPY TIBET, COMMUNIST CHINA UNLEASHED BRUTAL CAMPAIGN OF CULTURAL REPRESSION.
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.

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

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?

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.”

The report was deleted from the website, then reappeared and was deleted for a second time.
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.

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
PUBLISHED : Saturday, 30 April, 2016, 4:01am
LI JING
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 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
BEN BLANCHARD Mar 28th 2016 9:23AM
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.

TIBET’S MORE THAN 1.2 MILLION DEAD REMEMBERED AS 57th UPRISING ANNIVERSARY MARKED
March 12, 2016 1:10 pm
Tibetans across the free world, joined by their supporters, marked on Mar 10 the 57th anniversary of their uprising against the Chinese occupation of their homeland with protest rallies, flying of Tibetan national flags from prominent public buildings and private homes, and speeches.
(TibetanReview.net, Mar12’16) – Tibetans across the free world, joined by their supporters, marked on Mar 10 the 57th anniversary of their uprising against the Chinese occupation of their homeland with protest rallies, flying of Tibetan national flags from prominent public buildings and private homes, and speeches. They condemned the continued policy of violent repression of the Tibetan people and called on China to resolve the decades-old political issue through dialogue. The day was also marked as Tibetan Martyr’s Day, for the more than 1.2 million Tibetans who died since China began its invasion of Tibet in late 1949, especially the more than 400 who have self-immolated since Feb 2009. In Dharamshala, India, both the executive head of the exile Tibetan administration, Sikyong Lobsang Sangay, and Speaker Penpa Tsering of the Tibetan Parliament in exile, addressed thousands of people at the official function held on the Tsuglakhang courtyard, recounting 57 years of horror endured by Tibetans under China’s subjugation and emphasizing that resolving the issue through dialogue and granting an ethnically contiguous Tibetan territory autonomy under Chinese sovereignty would be mutually beneficial. The official function concluded with a large rally of Tibetans snaking its way to the downtown district court complex area where speeches were delivered. The rally was jointly organized by the National Democratic Party of Tibet, Tibetan Youth Congress, Students for a Free Tibet, GuChuSum Movement and Tibetan Women’s Association. Other commemorative events were held by Tibetans and supporters in cities across the world. In India’s capital New Delhi, dozens of activists of the Tibetan Youth Congress were detained after they protested outside the Chinese embassy. Many had faces painted with Tibetan national flags, which they also carried in their hands, dressed in black. They shouted slogans such as “China go out” (of Tibet) and “Please support us” before being subdued and taken away in police buses, reported laprensasa.com Mar 10. A much larger protest rally was held at Jantar Mantar, near Connaught Place, with the participation of a large number of Indian supporters as well. In the south Indian IT hub of Bangaluru, around 600 Tibetans held a peace march on the eve of the uprising anniversary, said the laprensasa.com report. Commemoration and protest rallies were also held in numerous other towns and cities in India, both by Tibetans and Indian supporters. * * * A number of online reports also spoke about commemoration functions and protest rallies held in a number of US cities. Democratic Leader Nancy Pelosi and Representative Jim McGovern published an op-ed in the USA Today on Mar 10. Describing their experiences in Tibet which they visited as members of a US congressional delegation in Nov 2015, they called on Chinese authorities to engage the Dalai Lama in dialogue as part of what they describe as a “narrow but real” opportunity for the Chinese government to re-evaluate its policy toward Tibet. In downtown Santa Fe, in New Mexico State, dozens of Tibetans marched from the Tibetan Association of Santa Fe’s center to the state Capitol on Paseo de Peralta where a commemoration function was held, followed by a rally through the streets. There were also media reports of similar events held in Utah, downtown Minneapolis (over 400 people), Ithaca, and numerous other places. * * * In Canada, dozens of people were reported to have gathered in front of Calgary’s city hall on Mar 10 to mark the Tibetan National Uprising Day. Waving the Tibetan flag and holding signs with slogans such as “Human rights in Tibet,” “Allow media in Tibet,” and “Stop torture in Tibet,” the group was reported to have finished their march in front of the Consulate-General of the People’s Republic of China. * * * In Australia, a number of Tibetans had their heads shaved to pay tribute to 18-year-old Kalsang Wangdu and 16-year-old Dorjee Tsering, who had self-immolated the week before in Tibet and in India while commemorating the event in Sydney. * * * In Brussels, more than 250 Tibetans and European friends gathered in Schuman Square next to the European Commission and Council to commemorate the uprising day. Mr Thomas Mann, a German member of the European Parliament and chair of the Tibet Interest Group, a cross-party group of European Parliamentarians, issued a statement for the occasion. The crowd later marched to the Chinese Embassy, shouting slogans. * * * In UK, protesters gathered opposite the Chinese embassy in London and later marched through central London to the Westminster Cathedral Hall where later in the evening a Tibetan cultural event was held.

Finding ‘Inner Peace’ through mental practices like ‘Meditation’ entirely depends upon the precise, geographical location where the Subject practices Meditation. Prayer and Meditation are useful tools, but they have practical limitations. Mental practices by themselves do not change or alter external reality. At the most, the mental practitioner may develop tolerance and cope with external reality that remains unchanged. If the purpose of mental practice is that of resisting external reality, practices such as Prayer and Meditation can bring benefits like Patience and Perseverance that sustain mental resistance to unchanging external circumstances. Tibetans living under Subjugation have to cultivate an attitude of Patience and Perseverance for they have no other Choice. Oppressive Military Regimes must not be tolerated and to resist military occupation is the right thing to do.

Whole Trouble – Change Your Mind, Change the World of military oppression in Tibet Great Masters of Nalanda, Acharya Atisha.Meditation_vs_Military_Oppression: Whole Trouble – Meditation to confront the problem of military oppression of Tibet. “Change Your Mind, Change The World.”
His Holiness made a swing through town this week to headline the “Change Your Mind Change The World” conference hosted by his old friend Richie Davidson of the UW’s Center for Investigating Healthy Minds at the Waisman Center and his new friend Jonathan Patz of the UW Global Health Institute. A star-studded affair, the daylong event featured heavy hitters Arianna Huffington (The Huffington Post) and Daniel Goleman (author of Emotional Intelligence) as moderators along with a high-end cast of thinkers and doers who could only be upstaged by someone like the Dalai Lama.
I attended the afternoon session, “Conversations on Science, Happiness and Well-being,” with His Holiness, Huffington, Davidson, Patz and renowned Buddhist monk Matthieu Ricard, who has participated in Davidson’s research on the effects of meditation on the brain. To set the mood of this momentous occasion, UW Chancellor David Ward told the audience, “There is likely no other topic that has greater impact on the world than that of sustainable well-being.” Huffington concurred in her own words: “There is no more important conversation going on on the planet.” She went on to describe a perfect storm that’s brewing on earth right now:
After plugging Huff Post’s new stress-reducer app “GPS for the Soul,” she shared her recipe for changing the world: strength, serenity, and wisdom … “We all have this,” she said. “Most of us are not there.”
The next hour-and-a-half was a reflecting exercise of sorts—each of the three panelists (Davidson, Patz and Ricard) held forth on their own body of knowledge and research interests, and then Huffington asked the Dalai Lama to respond.
Davidson laid out five facts of well-being and cited studies that prove the extraordinary—and relatively new—findings on how little we know about or respect well-being’s effect on our health, both physical and emotional. According to one study, after just two weeks of training in compassion, a study cohort’s brains changed to become more cooperative and altruistic. Another study, this one on infants, found there is an innate disposition toward well-being and generosity.
The Dalai Lama’s curiosity piqued when Davidson explained a mind-wandering study revealing that forty-seven percent of the time the average American is not actually paying attention to what he or she is doing, and is feeling unhappy while doing so. At which point the Dalai Lama leaned over and began speaking with his interpreter, who eventually asked, “Can you explain what mind wandering is?” The Overture Hall crowd erupted in laughter, finding collective humor in the notion that a great practitioner of mindfulness would have a difficult time understanding the concept of distraction. It took a couple minutes for His Holiness to wrap his uncluttered mind around the idea and respond, “That is why it is so important to focus, to practice simple point of mind.”
After Davidson’s presentation on well-being, Huffington wrapped it up by asking the Dalai Lama: “What can we do to help these tools become more widespread?” His reply was a recurring theme throughout the session: education. “That’s the only way.” He also talked about the media’s obligation to inform the public about the positive, not just the negative, as well as his own commitment “to promote secular ethics, harmony.” Human nature is gentle, he explained, but that good nature becomes dormant due to our social environment and the deeply instilled values of money, greed and competition.
UW professor Jonathan Patz, who was among a United Nations panel that shared the Nobel Peace Prize with Al Gore in 2007, was up next. He opened with the sobering news of late that the earth has for the first time exceeded 400 parts per million of carbon dioxide, which is not good. “Grappling with climate change is a golden opportunity for human health and well-being,” Patz said before exploring the concept of the interdependence of our human species with the survival of the natural world. He did so by telling the story of a third-world village that eradicated malaria with a pesticide, only to weaken the food chain and unleash an epidemic of typhus. The lesson? “The importance of being mindful of the interdependence of life because unintended consequences outnumber our good intentions.” Other topics Patz and the Dalai Lama reflected on were measuring a country’s gross domestic product by more than financial capital—factoring in socio-political and environmental capital as well. Patz also shared with His Holiness that more than population growth, per-person consumption of natural resources is a threat to, well, natural resources and a clear link to climate change and worst-case scenarios.
Scary serious stuff, and the Dalai Lama himself seemed temporarily uncertain about whether humans have the capacity to overcome these challenges until Arianna Huffington asked a doozy of a question: “Is there a connection between burned out humans and burning out the planet?”
Matthieu Ricard’s comments were wide-ranging, from ideas like “voluntary simplicity” and “gross national happiness” to how greed has reduced human qualities to a single dimension. His answer to Huffington’s powerful doomsday question was, in the spirit of Buddhism and the Dalai Lama himself, quite simple: altruism. His Holiness agreed, but framed it quite differently. The opposite of altruism, or selflessness, is selfishness, and he told us there are two kinds of selfish: wise selfish and foolish selfish. If you think more about others’ well-being, he suggested, you will get the ultimate benefit.
At the end of the session, the speakers lined up and joined hands as the audience stood and clapped. But the Dalai Lama decided he wasn’t quite done yet. In an unscripted encore, he looked out on the crowd and began speaking about the masters of teaching in all of human history. Like Davidson and Patz’s modern scientific work, those teachings spread and multiply. “That’s the only way to change humanity’s way of thinking,” he told us. The previous century was marked by violence, “brilliant brains used for destruction,” he continued. “This century should not be that way … so, it is our responsibility.”
As he walked off stage, the Dalai Lama waved, then lingered, then walked toward the crowd and shook hands with several lucky front-row seat holders as John Lennon’s “Imagine” floated through the air.
I left feeling conflicted about whether the answers were this simple, but also moved simply by being in the Dalai Lama’s presence, an experience shared by many. There’s just something about a person whose real and tangible world power doesn’t rest in the hands of the government or the military but in his human capacity for kindness and compassion. There’s something about the Dalai Lama.

TROUBLE IN TIBET – 1,001 MANIFESTATIONS OF TROUBLE. KFC INVASION OF TIBET.
‘Trouble in Tibet’ has over 1,001 Manifestations. Each time, I can describe one face of ‘Trouble in Tibet’. Now, Trouble arrived in Lhasa, Tibet in the form of ‘Colonel’s Army’ carrying ‘KFC’ Banner. The underlying cause for all these varied manifestations of Trouble is the same. Red China’s Dictatorial Regime exercises power suppressing the views of Tibetans. Red China uses authority in accord only with her own will or desire dominating every aspect of Tibetan way of life.

RIGHTS GROUPS WARN KFC OVER FIRST TIBET OPENING

Beijing (AFP) – Campaign groups warned US fast food giant KFC Wednesday over the opening of its first restaurant in Tibet, more than a decade after the chain’s first attempt to establish a foothold ended in controversy.
The Dalai Lama, Tibet’s exiled spiritual leader and Nobel laureate, condemned the idea when it was first mooted, and critics said the firm needed to address human rights and environmental concerns.
Pictures of the red carpet opening posted online showed long lines at the restaurant, at a shopping mall in the regional capital Lhasa. “As a diehard fan of KFC I waited in line for ages, and felt like crying when I took my first lick of my ice cream cone,” said one elated social media user.
China, which has controlled Tibet since the 1950s, has been accused of political and religious repression in the mainly Buddhist region, and more than 140 ethnic Tibetans have set themselves on fire in recent years to protest its rule according to rights groups and reports, most of them dying.
But Beijing insists Tibetans enjoy extensive freedoms and that it has brought economic growth to the area.
Alistair Currie, of London-based Free Tibet, told AFP: “Tibet is an occupied country and Tibetans have been squeezed out of business and economic development by Han Chinese immigration and China’s imposition of Mandarin as the language of education, business and government.”
KFC’s parent company Yum Brands needed to ensure Tibetans were hired and promoted fairly in the restaurant, and that the Tibetan language was used, he said.
The International Campaign for Tibet said it was asking Yum how it was complying with the US Tibet Policy Act, which requires investments to protect Tibetan culture and livelihoods, and its own pledges of corporate social responsibility.
“It is hard to see how they will be able to implement those principles given the political climate in Lhasa today,” said its president Matteo Macacci. “Tibetans are largely marginalised, economically disadvantaged and subject to a social and economic agenda imposed from the top down in order to ensure the control of the Chinese Communist Party over Tibet.”
‘TOKENISTIC AND SUPERFICIAL’
KFC first entered China in 1987, and now has just over 5,000 outlets in more than 1,100 locations across the country, most of them company-owned, Yum Brands says on its website. The Lhasa KFC opened Tuesday, a woman from the Shenli Shidai shopping centre property rental department confirmed to AFP.
Yum declined to comment on the opening, but the company previously said it would “provide employment opportunities and support the development of the regional supply chain”. Images of the interior posted online showed a large image of the Potala Palace, the historic residence of the Dalai Lamas, and triangle motifs labelled with Tibetan mountain names in English, including Qomolangma, the local name for Everest.
Such design elements “may play well with Chinese and foreign tourists who want a little fast culture with their fast food but the onus is on Yum to show that its commitment to the community is not tokenistic and superficial”, said Currie of Free Tibet.
KFC had plans to enter region as early as 2004, but pulled the plug on the idea, saying it was not yet economically feasible. The Dalai Lama, Tibet’s exiled spiritual leader, wrote a letter of protest to Yum at the time, declaring that the cruel treatment endured by chickens raised and killed for KFC “violates Tibetan values”.
In December, Xinhua reported that KFC also plans to build a 4.67-hectare frozen storage facility in Lhasa’s suburbs “to prepare for further expansion in the region”.
