TIBET, CHINA

Tibet is located on the Southwestern boarder of China. Map of Tibet, China Tibet houses about 2.6 million people. Tibet was occupied by China for 48 years. In that time period
the Chinese were doing a genocide against the Tibetan people and their culture. 17% of people in the Tibetan race were killed and 6,000 monasteries were destroyed. Many Tibetans were killed and suffered in prison, because of their religion. Most Tibetans were forced to work hard labor making products for the Chinese. The culture of Tibet focuses on Buddhist from India spirituality that reflected on arts and ritual practices which focused on their daily life. They believe in non-violence and peace. Tibetans have a spoken language and a written language that comes from the Indian script. Sanskrit. The Tibetans have been persecuted by the Chinese. The Chinese overthrew their government and took over Tibet killing many people. The goal for the Chinese is to fill in people to Tibet and make everyone Chinese. The Chinese ruined their environment by deforesting their mountains and woods and they also took their gold, bronze, and silver. They are also destroying many religious buildings. The Tibetans are being prosecuted by the Chinese because of their religion. China supports Mammon while Tibetans support the Buddhist religion. These acts fall under genocide, bias, discrimination, and violence. The Chinese began to force change on the Tibetan culture. They filled Tibet with mainly Chinese people to change the Tibetan culture by destroying monasteries, and setting up a public school system where Tibetan children would learn Chinese propaganda, language, and culture. This cultural genocide has dramatically changed Tibet. This is on going and even today there are more Chinese people in Tibet rather than Tibetans. The number of monks and nuns has been dramatically reduced, and Tibetan children are growing up knowing little of their culture.
