Summary • Xi sent a letter to Tibetan herders with a message on ’s border row with India • Taiwanese activists joined the campaign to condemn China for failed Tibet policy • Chamdo Party Secretary determined to build strong economic Zone in Eastern Tibet th • Tibetan Representative for 19 Party Congress were more structured TAR NEWS In letter to Tibetan herders, Xi sends message on China’s border row with India October 29, 2017 Xi’s letter was a rare response to the flood of correspondence from the public to the Chinese leader.The presidential replies are seen as a window to the priorities of their writer. The Tibetan family – comprising a father and his two daughters – wrote to Xi about their community and Xi replied on Saturday. From 1979 to 1996, the family of herders were the only inhabitants of the Himalayan village of Yumai in Lhunze county, which covers 1,976 square kilometres, according to Chinese records. The community has since grown to 32 residents but remains on the front line of China and India’s conflicting territorial claims. The letter comes two months after the end of a military stand-off between China and India on the Doklam plateau.

While not referring to India directly, Xi praised the family’s decades-long efforts to “protect the Chinese territory.” “Without peace in the territory, there will be no peace for millions of families,” Xinhua quoted Xi’s letter as saying. “We will safeguard every blade of grass and tree on the motherland’s border well.” He urged the family to take inspiration from a Tibetan wild flower and continue to defend the “sacred homeland”. Without elaborating, Xinhua said the two daughters, Dolkar and Yangzom, had written to Xi about changes in Yumai. In 2015, Chinese National Geography reported that the Tibetan family’s residence had helped China maintain control of the territory. “Yumai would be occupied by India already if the family had decided to leave,” the village’s Head was quoted as saying.

Activities of Tibetans inside and Abroad Worsening Tibet situation condemned on eve of China’s crucial Party Congress October 19, 2017 Five major exiled Tibetan campaign groups came together on October 17, on the eve of the 19th National Congress of the Communist Party of China, to condemn China’s hardline policy on the Tibet issue over the past five years under the current President Xi Jinping. Addressing a joint press conference at Dharamshala, India, the groups said President Xi belied expectations for changes for the better in Tibet when he took office in 2012. They said the situation in Tibet had, in fact, gone from “bad to worse”. “When Xi Jinping was appointed as President of the Communist Party of China, many around the world hoped for positive change and the relaxation of harsh policies in Tibet; however, Xi has failed to live up to these expectations and hopes,” ANI News Agency reported on October 17. They added, “The situation in Tibet has gone from bad to worse with increased censorship, violation of basic human rights and the denial of freedom of religion and the right to study the Tibetan language.” The groups – consisting of the Tibetan Youth Congress, Tibetan Women’s Association, Gu-Chu-Sum Movement Association of Tibet, National Democratic Party of Tibet and Students for a Free Tibet – have called for stepped up efforts to further condemn the Chinese leadership and what they have called China’s failed policies in Tibet. “We, the five Tibet NGOs, strongly protest Xi’s leadership in the years to come and will continue our freedom struggle until justice is served in Tibet,” they have said. That is because the groups do not expect the situation to improve as President Xi looks to consolidate his power during the upcoming Party Congress for the next five years. “Despite his concerted efforts to restore his image in the global arena, he (Xi Jinping) will never be seen at par with any global leader with legitimacy, as long as the situation inside Tibet and China does not change for the better,” Dorjee Tsetan, SFT Executive Director, was quoted as saying. He was also reported to have urged the international community to further strengthen its voice against Xi’s rise.

Taiwanese activists join campaign to condemn China for failed Tibet policy October 19, 2017 Taiwanese activists have on October 17 joined a global campaign initiated by the International Tibet Network – a San Francisco-headquartered umbrella group for Tibet campaign groups across the world – Page 12 of 16

that called for the condemnation of President Xi over China’s continued repression of Tibet during the past five years under his leadership, reported focustaiwan.tw. The activists announced their plan at a press conference in Taipei addressed by Mr. Tashi Tsering, chairperson of the Human Rights Network for Tibet and Taiwan. He was reported to have been joined by human rights activists from 17 nongovernmental organizations in Taiwan. The network has launched a series of global campaigns titled “Xi Fails Tibet” with the aim of bringing worldwide attention to the deteriorating situation in Tibet since 2012. As a part of its campaign, the network has published a report titled “Five Years of Failure in Tibet”. The reports asks governments and international institutions to strongly and publicly condemn China’s growing religious and cultural repression.

The press conference was also addressed by Lin Hsin-yi, executive director of the Taiwan Alliance to End the Death Penalty, who has said, “As China seeks to extend its influence worldwide, it is trying to roll back democracy in other countries and is exporting anti-human rights values. We find that unacceptable and we’ll continue to speak out.” Also, Lee Peng-hsuan, member of the International Tibet Network, has said, “We can post messages (on the Facebook page of the Great Hall of the People) telling Beijing that its encroachment on human rights has not gone unnoticed. We are watching.” Yibee Huang, chief executive officer of the group Covenants Watch, has said Taiwan should step forward in the fight against such injustices because the country would be the first to bear the brunt of the rise of an autocratic China.
