Today I tell you about the Tibetan minority in China, while many do not know the problem of the Tibetans or are not well informed.

# data[].attributes.body
There are many ethnic minorities in the world that are not perceived. The ethnic diversity in China, for example, is enormous. Tibet is also an ethnic minority that you should definitely know!

The title gives a problem the Tibetans are suffering from. But why is the Chinese government destroying the cultural identity of the Tibetans and what are the current living conditions of the Tibetans in China? What is the conflict that has existed for 69 years?

# data[].attributes.body
The war, tension and conflict between Tibetans and the Chinese government have actually existed since 1918, but the oppression of Tibetans and the destruction of religion only began after the Chinese army occupied Tibet in 1950.

The conflict between Tibet and China is greatly simplified by the fact that China wants Tibet to become a province of the Chinese Empire. However, Tibet wants to exist as an autonomous state and not be oppressed by China. Due to the superior power of the Chinese army, however, resistance was useless and pointless. In the course of time there have been repeated attempts by Tibet to become an independent state again. But mostly the uprisings were not successful or the successes were not of long duration. Due to the egoism, the ruthlessness and the brutality of the Chinese the Tibetans are in a very bad way nowadays.

What have Tibetans done about the situation?

As already mentioned, the population of Tibet has never wanted to accept belonging to China. Many demonstrations and protests have been held for Tibet's independence.

One demonstration, for example, took place in 2010. About 300 demonstrators had temporarily gathered in Lhasa (capital of Tibet). The monks had demanded the release of religious brothers from Chinese prisons.

They also tried to publish materials such as leaflets and form organisations.

The Chinese government decided in 1987 that all rebels should be mercilessly suppressed. This policy was strengthened and was and is mainly directed against Tibetans calling for independence.
A protest has as a consequence the arrest. And what happens in prison with the Tibetans is really violating human rights.
Already during the arrest brutal force is used. Women have to strip naked after they have been thoroughly searched. They are then brutally questioned. The questioning takes place with the help of attacking dogs and sticks. The torture continues until one admits the participation in a demonstration or reveals the names of other demonstrators. It can also be said, then, that all demonstrations ended in bloodshed again and again.
So far more than 1 million Tibetans have fallen victim to the freedom fight and there is still no end to the conflict.

Demonstrations have massive consequences and how is cultural identity destroyed?

For 69 years, the Chinese government has destroyed the cultural identity of Tibetans in Tibet.
They have decided to oppress the Tibetan religion  (buddhism) because they have a different world view than the Chinese.
After the occupation of Tibet, countless monasteries were destroyed and robbed, religious sanctuaries were devastated, deported to China and from there sold on the world market.
Monks and nuns were tortured, beaten, raped, put into labour camps for decades and locked up behind bars.
You wonder why monks and nuns are tortured. Quite simply, because, as mentioned, they have different worldviews from the Chinese, so they are the main participants in the protests.
The language is also suppressed, because the lessons in the schools are only in chinese. In this way, alienation from the traditions of one's own culture is unavoidable.

We know when the conflict between Tibet and China started, what the problem is and how the Tibetan culture is destroyed.
Now we ask ourselves what the living conditions of the Tibetans are like today. I will now explain this in the next paragraph.

What are the living conditions of the Tibetans today?
Until today the tibetans are in a very bad condition. They suffer from poverty because it is very difficult for them to find a job. They are massively disadvantaged in their working life.
They also suffer from the one-child policy. As a result, women are forced to abortion and sterilization. For Tibetans it is terrible to suffer under a policy that has not even established its own government. The discontent of the Tibetans is growing day by day.

The demonstrations are still taking place today, which is why many Tibetans also lose their lives.
Another sad point is that Tibetans burn themselves to make other countries aware of the destruction of their religion and the oppression of Tibetans.

In this video you can see how a Tibetan burns himself..

Tibetans have a right to their autonomy, especially in the cultural and religious field. Freedom of religion is a fundamental and human right that allows each individual to freely and publicly exercise his or her personal beliefs in the form of a religion of ideology. The Chinese government has no right to torture the Tibetans in such a way. It is very terrible to hear that it is a goal of the Chinese to suppress religion. How bad must it be for the Tibetans if they lose their cultural identity and start burning themselves out of doubt? I think something must be done about it.

In this video you see other opinions.

First of all I want to say that your blog is very interesting and good comprehensible. I like it that you wrote a short introduction, which informed the reader about your topic. Moreover your structure is very good, because you have divide your blog in several sub - points, so that everything was successive. Besides it is good that you give a knowledge about the reason of the conflict of tibet. Furthermore I like it that you compare the things which are happen with the current situation so that I can see the change.
To sum up, I want to say that I agree with your opinion. Of course the Tibetans should have the right to being an autonomous state. Apart from this they should not allow that they will be oppressed by the Chinese.

Best regards

First of all I would like to say that I find your blog post about the ethnic minority in China very interesting and informative. This topic is a good choice because many people don't know much or not at all about the topic.
Before I read your blog I didn't know much about the problems and worries of the Tibetans.
It's very heartbreaking that women are forced to abortion and sterilization just because, as you said, they suffer under a policy that hasn't even formed its own government. These people are not to blame they only want their religious independence. Also, your video you have linked should make everyone aware of how much help the Tibetans need. They need OUR attention.
All in all your blog is very well structured and you addressed several meaningful headings. Than you for that !

All the best
Sara

Thank you so much for writing your blog about this topic which in my opinion is not talked about enough. I think it is great that you rise attention for this situation in China since the whole tibetian culture is being surpressed by the chinese government. It truly shows how limited humans in their freedom are and how the human rights are still massively violated to this day which is horrible.
The blog is very well structured and is due to the layout and use of pictures and videos very appealing to the eye. Your choice of words and sentence structure were simple and easily comprehensible so that the blog can be read fluently.
All in all I personally am really happy with your blog since it is very informative and explains a current sensitive topic while being understandable and easy to read so thank you again for writing it and giving more attention to this topic.

Best regards
Ariane

You ask a lot of questions in between, which is a really good method to make the reader think about the topic and build his own opinion.

You also added some useful pictures and even videos to inform about the conflict in Tibet, which made your whole blog even more interesting. Summed up, this is a really nice and well written blog, filled with information that make you think intesely about this topic. Thank you for sharing this with us!
