Senior Chinese Leader Wang Huning Tours Tibet, Stresses Ethnic Unity, Stability
The visit came weeks after a new ethnic unity law took effect and as Beijing pressed monasteries to align more closely with party priorities.
- On Wednesday, Wang Huning, a member of the Communist Party's Politburo Standing Committee, concluded a four-day tour of Tibet, urging officials to safeguard stability and fully enforce a new ethnic unity law.
- Wang, a top Communist Party strategist overseeing ideological work, emphasized that publicity campaigns must forge a unified national identity following the July 1 implementation of the new ethnic unity law.
- CCTV footage showed Wang visiting a Tibetan Buddhist monastery where display boards promoted the Sinicisation of religion; he called for "stepping up law-based management of temples and monasteries."
- The new law, which drew criticism from the European Union, allows Beijing to act against those undermining ethnic unity, while international human rights groups describe China's rule in Tibet as "oppressive," an accusation Beijing rejects.
- Wang's tour mirrors his June visit to Xinjiang, reinforcing a broader emphasis on stability as he stated efforts must be made to "consolidate a political and social environment of unity and stability.
