“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...

I'm sure the global attention and good wishes directed to #Tibet #DalaiLama on his milestone birthday in July had nothing to do with this trip by #China govt #CCP leaders #XiJinping and #WangHuning to the region, nothing at all... www.nbcnews.com/world/china/...

“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...

As the Dalai Lama celebrates his 90th birthday, China-linked hackers have carried out two cyberattacks targeting the Tibetan community. cybernews.com/cybercrime/c...

“This is an existential threat for Tibetans. Within two generations, if the situation does not improve, the language and much of the cultural identity will be lost. I'm not afraid to use the term cultural genocide.” - Mr. Fernand de Varennes, Former UN Special Rapporteur

"We don't want [the embassy] there because of demonstrations, because of the security risks, because of our privacy." Opponents of the embassy - Hong Kongers, Tibetans, Uighurs, and opposition politicians - have already staged protests involving up to 6,000 people. www.bbc.co.uk/news/article...

Tibetan MP Dorjee Tseten called for urgent global intervention: “We are witnessing the forced separation of an entire generation from their families and culture. The emotional and psychological scars will last for decades. The world cannot remain silent.” sundayguardianlive.com/news/tibet-r...

On July 5, 2025, in Dharamsala, Tibet Action Institute, joined by Sikyong Penpa Tsering, launched the Tibetan version of our report on what really happens inside China’s colonial boarding schools in Tibet and their impact on Tibetan children. www.aninews.in/news/world/a...

As we celebrate the historic 90th birthday of His Holiness the Dalai Lama, we at Tibet Action Institute are pleased to share a special video tribute in honor of his extraordinary life, courage, visionary leadership, and unwavering commitment to Tibet. www.youtube.com/watch?v=mRID...

At #UNHRC59 in Geneva, Tibetans exposed China’s forced separation of kids as young as 4 into colonial boarding schools - neglected, abused and fed propaganda. READ REPORT: tibetaction.net tibet.net/tibetan-dele...

“The Chinese Communist Party has systematically undermined Tibetan culture, religion, and traditions,” said Khenpo Sonam Tenphel, speaker of the Tibetan parliament in exile. Tibetan children face abuse, neglect & indoctrination in boarding schools. www.washingtonpost.com/world/2025/0...

"I hereby reiterate that the Gaden Phodrang Trust has sole authority to recognize the future reincarnation; no one else has any such authority to interfere in this matter." - His Holiness the 14th Dalai Lama www.dalailama.com/news/stateme...

Sonam Choesto, 15, spent a year in a state-run boarding primary school about seven years ago. She described a life there that was simultaneously well-resourced, regimented, disorienting and lonely. www.wsj.com/world/china/...

Last week at a UN Human Rights Council side-event in Geneva, Dr. Gyal Lo delivered a powerful statement that cut to the truth of H.H Dalai Lama incredible legacy of resistance and global leadership and China’s plan to hijack his reincarnation. read&share: tibetaction.net/drgyalloonda...

"China is using Tibetan children as the final frontier on the battleground to eliminate the Tibetan identity language and the culture," Dr Gyal Lo said. www.abc.net.au/news/2025-06...

As the Dalai Lama Turns 90, His Exiled Nation Faces a Moment of Truth The Tibetan spiritual leader has vowed to reveal a succession plan when his birthday is celebrated on July 6. He may get creative to thwart Chinese interference. www.nytimes.com/2025/06/12/w...

No matter how much China stages a “happy Tibet,” Tibetans have never been loyal to the CCP. How can there be happiness when they kidnap the real Panchen Lama, erase culture, and separate children from families? True loyalty grows from respect, not control. www.independent.co.uk/news/xi-jinp...

Dr. Gyal Lo discusses courageous Tibetan students in China's 1989 democracy movement. He shares many fascinating memories, but Genla's insight on the legacy of Tiananmen Square for Tibetans is particularly powerful. Listen here: tibetunlocked.github.io/2024/episode...

What’s really happening inside China’s colonial boarding schools for Tibetan children? In this short but gripping interview @lhadon.bsky.social breaks it down on @theworld.org: Abuse. Neglect. A system built to erase Tibetan identity. Listen now: theworld.org/segments/202...

Authorities have gone door to door to enforce bans on students attending Tibetan language classes or visiting monasteries during school holidays. Parents have been required to sign pledges promising that their children would not engage in any such activities. religionunplugged.com/news/2025/5/...

"China's colonial boarding schools are meant to indoctrinate, not educate Tibetan children. Chinese authorities are deliberately taking our children away and disconnecting them from their roots." - Dr Gyal Lo www.newsweek.com/china-tibet-...

"These accounts not only fail to report on the civic responses to disaster, such as mutual aid networks organised by Tibetans both locally and internationally, but they tend to overlook the immediate concerns of the affected communities." - Nimesh Dhungana theconversation.com/disaster-aut...

Diplomats often observe that human rights gains should come from people inside the country — but greater external support is essential. New CBC funding could be deployed to salvage Tibetan- and Uyghur-language journalism no longer supported by Washington. nationalpost.com/opinion/opin...

Outrageous: Hong Kong police arrested the father of US-based activist Anna Kwok for simply being her parent. China’s collective punishment, used in Tibet to silence exiled voices is designed to create fear & self-censorship. It must end. Sanctions on those responsible now!

Dr. Gyal Lo speaks out on Taiwan’s major TV network CTS, exposing China’s forced assimilation of Tibetan kids through colonial boarding schools. Children as young as 4 are stripped of their language & culture, replaced with CCP ideology. Share with Mandarin-speaking friends. youtu.be/CR_MBVbMeJ0?...

CNN’s tightly controlled trip to Tibet exposed China’s repression. Schoolchildren were proud of their culture but fell silent on Tibetan Buddhism and the Dalai Lama. Fear, not freedom, shapes daily life in Tibet under China’s rule. edition.cnn.com/2025/05/01/c...

Interviews with more than 100 victims in 23 countries, along with internal government documents, reveal the sinister tactics China uses to silence Tibetans, Uyghurs, Hong Kongers and critics beyond its borders. www.icij.org/investigatio...

The Panchen Lama turns 36 today. Abducted by China at age 6, he’s been missing for 30 years. Beijing claims Tibet is “happy”—yet hides the Panchen Lama, installs a state-appointed one and silences truth. This isn’t peace. It’s control. #FreeTibet #PanchenLama #30YearsMissing

Dear His Holiness Panchen Lama, On your birthday, we think of you & the difficult circumstances you & your family have faced for so long. Your continued detention is a profound injustice, & we will not stop advocating for your freedom and for the rights of the Tibetan people. freepanchenlama.org

As the H.H. Dalai Lama turns 90 this year and the question of his succession is again moving into the spotlight, procurement data by the Chinese government shows how the authorities are preparing. netaskari.substack.com/p/part-1-sur...
