Tokyo Symposium Warns China’s Tibet Policies Threaten Indo-Pacific Security

Scholars and activists at the University of Tokyo recently warned that China's interference in Tibetan religious traditions threatens the security of Japan and India. During a strategic symposium, experts highlighted how the CCP uses the Ethnic Unity Law and colonial boarding schools to erase Tibetan identity. Speakers argued that democratic nations cannot remain silent, as Beijing's control over the Dalai Lama's reincarnation impacts regional stability and democratic integrity. The panel also addressed China's military buildup along the Indian border and the role of the Quad. Protecting Tibet’s cultural heritage remains vital for maintaining long term peace throughout the Indo-Pacific.
