Chinese-Appointed Panchen Lama Pushes CCP Loyalty in Tibet

The Chinese government-appointed Panchen Lama recently led a "Three Consciousness" symposium in Nagqu, Tibet, as part of a campaign to enforce loyalty to the Chinese Communist Party (CCP) and suppress support for the Dalai Lama. According to Bitter winter, the initiative, which began in 2022, aims to align Tibetan Buddhist practices with CCP directives, emphasizing "national unity" and obedience to the Party. The false Panchen Lama urged monks and nuns to integrate these principles into their daily activities and reject "separatist" ideas. He also praised the CCP's role in local development, calling for stronger ethnic unity under Xi Jinping's leadership.
