[China's Cultural Genocide and Sinicization: Uyghurs and Tibet - Part 2 out of 2]

Tibetians forced to worship Xi Jinping and Mao Zedong

It was reported that in December 2018 that tibetians were forced to “clean up” images of the Dalai Lama in their homes, Buddhist temples and monasteries and replace them with portraits of Xi Jinping and Mao Zedong.

As the pressure increases, PRC threatens to cut off some families’ subsidies if they don’t comply. In certain areas, officials even go house to house to check that the photos of Xi and Mao are on the altar.

Director of Policy Research Isaac Boltansky wrote, “Given both the fundamentals and political realities, we expect Vice President Pence to adopt a hawkish and defensive tone.” and the “tensions between China and the United States have expanded beyond the tariff tit-for-tat in recent weeks", with the US blacklisting 8 Chinese companies, restricting granting visa to Chinese officials, and considering imposing restrictions on funds transfer of enterprises.
