This is What Resistance Can Look Like

The International Campaign for Tibet has posted new photos from Lhasa and Labrang, showing Tibetans thronging to offer incense and light fireworks to celebrate the Dalai Lama’s Congressional Gold Medal.

This despite intense warnings and intimidation from Chinese authorities, who are revealing themselves to be increasingly powerless to stop concerted actions by the Tibetan people.

The Tibetan people see that the Chinese emperor has no clothes. China’s apparatus of terror and control in Tibet relies on people being intimidated and afraid. When enough people refuse to be intimidated and afraid, the whole system of control can unravel.
