Really sad to see Tibet under CCP control. It would be much preferable if the region were an autonomous province of India, with whom Tibet has cultural affinity. Note that the real Dalai Lama has had to live in exile for decades in India, while seeing his people get slowly indoctrinated by the Chinese government via various education programs and such (https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/14th_Dalai_Lama https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/14th_Dalai_Lama).
The word people need to learn is “Sinicization”, which describes the programs that implement a slow takeover and indoctrination of an entire people - effectively a cultural genocide:

- beaunative 5y agoOnly if by cultural affinity you meant a Caste system had Tibet had any similarity to India. Buddhism was wiped, or in your word cultrually-genocided, by Hinduism already in India. The only reason why India might be anywhere interested in hosting a Buddhism monk is to annoy China, and nothing else.

- xtian 5y agoRight. From Wikipedia: "under Chinese law an autonomous region has more legislative rights, such as the right to 'formulate self-government regulations and other separate regulations.'"
