Seventy-five years after the genocidal Chinese Communist Party (CCP) invaded, occupied, and annexed Tibet, its people continue to suffer under the tyranny of the Communist conquerors.
Over a million corpses, thousands of monasteries wrecked, multiple generations forcibly brainwashed—this is the reality of more than seven decades of CCP rule in Tibet. While the whole world, including the CCP, weeps and sobs over the fake genocide in Gaza, there are real genocides ongoing in multiple nations and regions around the world, and Tibet is still trying to rally international empathy for its plight.
The Central Tibetan Administration (CTA), which advocates for the freedom of Tibet, published a piece in 2021 titled “Chinese Communist Party’s 100 Atrocities in Tibet,” promoting a handbook that goes in depth on what Tibetans have suffered ever since 1950.
The piece, which came out as a counter to CCP dictator Xi Jinping’s propaganda speech on the “glorious” 100 years of CCP existence — during which we can blame for at least 500 million deaths at their door — summed up some of the heartbreaking facts of what CCP rule has meant for native Tibetans:
For the Tibetans, since the occupation of Tibet by the CCP, the region became a living hell. More than 1.2 million people died. Around 6000 monasteries were destroyed; thousands of monks and nuns were disrobed, and the militarisation of the Tibetan plateau is at its peak right now. It has been 70 long years of brutal occupation and cultural genocide in Tibet. China speaks of the 17-Point Agreement of 1951, through which Tibet became a part of China. But the truth is that the 17-Point Agreement was a forced agreement that the CCP themselves have violated.
CTA emphasized that a century of the CCP represents a century of death and tyranny for the oppressed peoples of “Tibet, Uighur, South Mongolia, Hong Kong” and mainland China. Besides the religious persecution of Buddhists in Tibet, the CCP also continues to target Tibetan Christians for arrest and harassment.
“The CCP is still power-hungry. Bloodthirsty. — Today they train their weapons on the Tibetan people’s minds.”

And the oppression of Tibetans continues today, partly through cultural genocide or forced Sinicization whereby Tibet’s traditional religious, linguistic, and cultural practices are suppressed in favor of the CCP’s preferred socialized Chinese culture, religion, and language.
International Campaign for Tibet earlier this year discussed the effects of the current CCP five-year plan on Tibet (Soviet infiltration in China in the 20th century has certainly borne rotten fruit). Under all the jargon, the Tibetan campaign argued, is a “two-pronged political objective: aggressively assimilate Tibetans into the Chinese society and use Tibet as a springboard for China’s further ambitions in South Asia.” This is the forced Sinicization to which I referred.
After 75 years, the eyes of the world should be turned toward Tibet and the bloody tyranny of CCP rule there.
