China launches renewed “Patriotic Education” Campaign across all sections in Tibet
24 April 2008
The Chinese authorities in the “Tibet Autonomous Region” (‘TAR’) and other Tibetan areas in neighboring provinces have launched a two-months renewed “Patriotic Education” campaign covering almost every sections of society beginning primarily with the monastic institutions, party cadres, security forces and government employees, farmers and private entrepreneurs, educational institutions and common people, to denounce the Dalai Lama and the “splittist forces” in the coming two months.
Following the recent series of protests across the “TAR” and the non-TAR regions by Tibetans, the Chinese authorities launched a renewed “Patriotic Education” campaign as it was earlier concentrated primarily in the monastic institutions long considered as the bastions of political dissidence, covering almost every section of Tibetan communities with more rigor and intensity. The stipulated two-months’ renewed “Patriotic Education” campaign launched at the beginning of April following unprecedented protests across Tibetan plateau since 10 March, was reinvigorated and targeted not only the monastic institutions but also government employees, security forces, farmers, nomads, private enterpreneurs and educational institutions. The principle and underlying message of this campaign is to “vehemently oppose the Dalai ‘clique’” and “to expose the true nature of ‘Dalai clique’” and “March 14 riot”. Under the supervision of the Communist Party leaders, new committees were formally formed to formulate and execute the campaign across all sections of the society within two months stipulated time period.
Under the three themes, the renewed “patriotic education” campaign aims to ‘educate’ the masses about ‘opposing splittism’, ‘protecting stability’ and ‘backing development’, by holding meetings, inviting experts to give speeches, teaching and discussing the contents of the ‘patriotic education’ campaign, holding denunciation session of the Dalai Lama and screening propaganda shows and teaching Chinese laws and regulations.
