Report Summary<\/h4>\n\n\n\n

Over the years, under the pretext of uplifting the Tibetan people, Chinese authorities have been using their policy initiatives in Tibet to fulfill their objective of strengthening their hold on them and using Tibet as a resource to meet the needs of ever-increasing Chinese consumer markets.

Released on 7 February 2024, this new report examines two such policy initiatives – rural revitalization and national parks – that are resulting in a tightening Chinese grip on Tibet, the Himalayan neighbor that China has illegally occupied for 65 years.

These two policies are upending Tibetans\u2019 traditional lifestyles, displacing Tibetan pastoralists and violating the Tibetan people\u2019s Buddhist values.

At the same time, the manner of implementation of rural revitalization and national parks is putting them in conflict, with the former transforming Tibet into a massive slaughterhouse for industrial-sized meat production to meet the demands of the Chinese population, and the latter seeking to remake it as pristine wilderness for tourists.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
