We urge media to foreground Tibet, Tibetan and Tibetans when reporting on #Tibet. This isn't "south-west China", it's Tibet. The bridge's name "Hongqi" translates as Red Flag, political propaganda asserting CCP control over Tibet. Our decolonial reporting guide: tibetaction.net/resource-gui...

In October, the democratically elected leader of the Tibetan govt. in exile made his second official visit to Mexico, a powerful moment for Tibet advocacy in Latin America. As China’s influence grows across Mexico, Sikyong’s visit brought Tibet’s story to the forefront. tibet.net/sikyong-penp...

Beyond NPR’s fatalistic headline lies a story of Tibetan resilience. While numbers in India may decline, Tibetans worldwide are growing, our culture, language, and struggle remain alive. Exile is a challenge, but we’re still here, passing the torch to new generations. www.npr.org/2025/11/04/n...

Beijing’s ‘international symposium’ defending colonial boarding schools in Tibet shows how threatened it is by the truth. Instead of granting independent access to Tibet, it stages academic theater to mask the harm being done to Tibetan children. www.phayul.com/2025/10/30/5...

What the NYT missed about China’s green energy projects in Tibet: they’re being hailed as a triumph but what’s left out is the human and ecological cost, displacement, and repression.

As she toured Eastern Tibet, Zhang Yadi saw signs only in Mandarin, shops run by Chinese owners & streets draped in Chinese communist flags. She felt Tibet’s identity was being erased. Speaking out about it would later lead to her arrest & disappearance. www.theguardian.com/global-devel...

“Tibetans, Uyghurs, and others who speak out for minority populations can expect even greater government repression,” said Maya Wang, associate Asia director at @hrw.org www.hrw.org/news/2025/09...

“Any blatant move by Beijing to try to control the process of selecting the next Dalai Lama may backfire by driving Tibetan resentment into rage,” write Tenzin Dorjee and Gyal Lo. “For the Chinese, the issue is strategic; for Tibetans, it is existential.”

Thank you to Dr. Gyal Lo for speaking with me about the impact of colonial boarding schools on Tibetan children and society, and about the new report on this topic by @tibetaction.bsky.social. I learned a lot from our conversation and you will too.

🇨🇳 This resistance story both gave me chills and I found it breathtakingly ingenious: "Technology has strengthened the Chinese government’s ability to control its people. Mr. Qi illustrated how the same tools can enable resistance." He read 1984 and Brave New World. By @liyuan6.bsky.social:

"Tibetan loyalty to the Tibetan government in exile, to the Dalai Lama, is still strong, and that’s exactly why Xi Jinping was there". @lhadon.bsky.social on BBC Newshour on the 60th anniversary of "Tibet Autonomous Region" and Xi Jinping's recent surprise visit. tibetaction.net/lhadon-tetho...

On this day in 1960, His Holiness the Dalai Lama founded Tibet’s Parliament-in-Exile, making democracy an act of resistance. Tibetans in Tibet are denied this freedom. Today is a call to strengthen our democracy, raise our voices, and continue the struggle for justice.

In 2021, we exposed China’s colonial boarding schools separating Tibetan children from their families. Our new report uncovers even worse abuses, including targeting children as young as four. Read @chinadigitaltimes.net interview with Dr Gyal Lo chinadigitaltimes.net/2025/08/inte...

“For Tibetans, the anniversary of the People’s Republic of China’s creation of the Tibet Autonomous Region is no cause of celebration, but a painful reminder of China’s colonial occupation,” said Dorjee Tseten, Asia Program Manager at Tibet Action & Tibetan MP (TGIE) www.nytimes.com/2025/08/20/w...
