George Orwell’s 1984 has become a reality in Tibet as the Chinese government aims to eradicate culture’s identity through processes reminiscent of Australia’s stolen generation, Tibet’s leader-in-exile says.
Tibet’s exiled president Penpa Tsering said the situation in the region has deteriorated to a point comparable to South Sudan and Syria, accusing the Chinese regime of “striking the very identity of Tibetan people” in a bid to erase the culture.
