• Majority of the Chinese military is deployed in their eastern side

TIBET AUTONOMOUS REGION

CHINA’S GRAND PLAN OF FORCED MILITARIZATION

• The Chinese government is calling it a mandatory “vocational training” program.
• More than 500,000 rural labourers have already been pushed in military-style training centres in the first seven months of 2020.

DETAILS

• This time it is the Tibetan rural labourers who are being pushed off the land and are being sent into military-style training centres and are forced to work as factory workers.
• This is almost like the camps being run in the Western Xinjiang Region, which has been branded as coercive labour by the rights groups.

CHINA’S ACCOUNTABILITY

• Sir Iain Duncan Smith, the founder of a global coalition of MPs, has urged the International Olympic Committee to shift the 2022 Winter Games from China.
• The politician around the world has shown concerns over the human rights record of China.

CHINA REJECTS CONCERNS

INDIA’S ROLE

• India has always been mute over the Tibet issue when it mattered on the global stage
