CCP’s Forceful Campaigns For Assimilation Of Tibet

Abstract

This paper seeks to investigate Chinese Sinicization policies in Tiber. Following the Chinese invasion in 1949, the CCP attempted to identify Tibetan Buddhism as an outside influence while claiming that the Tibetan population is a part of the Chinese people. His Holiness the Dalai Lama has been portrayed as a separatist and supporter of foreign forces seeking to "split" the country. Since then, China has intimidated, arrested, and sentenced an increasing number of Tibetans, both monastic and lay, for exercising their religious freedom and expressing their confidence in His Holiness the Dalai Lama.
