London [UK]May 1 (ANI): Exiled Tibetan politician Sikyong Pemba Tsering said on Saturday that the Chinese government is spending more on internal security than external security.

“The Chinese government spends more on internal security than external security. China is the only government that does this. They invest in artificial intelligence, whether it’s electronic identification, they monitor your every move, including geolocation,” Penpa Tsering explain.

Tsering delivered a speech at the University of Westminster in London.

Tsering further said: “We are only now hearing about the DNA analysis of Tibetans, and some people have asked us what the Chinese government has done with all these DNA analyses. The worst case scenario is that Chinese scientists have managed to change the DNA, so if they change the DNA All seven million Tibetans, in another 20 to 30 years, they can claim there was never a Tibetan.”

“I don’t know if it’s going to get to that level, but now we’re hearing about iris scans of people, so it’s all about control and more control, and less and less freedom for people,” he said.

“So far, Tibetans have set themselves on fire hoping that the Chinese government will pay some attention or that the international community will come to rescue them, but so far nothing has happened,” said the exiled Tibetan politician.

“But I have always reminded our people that their efforts will not be in vain and that the past, present and future efforts of all of us will bring results to this silent Tibetan conflict,” he said.

On April 25th, which coincided with the 34th birthday of Gedun Choekyi Nyima (GCN), the high-level Tibetan delegation consisted of Sikyong Pemba Tsering, Abbot of Tashilhunpo Monastery Baila Kubi, and His Holiness Kekang Rinpoche. The delegation visited the British Parliament. The 11th Panchen Lama, Tibet’s supreme spiritual leader, has been missing for 27 years.

The All-Party Parliamentary International Group on Freedom of Religion or Belief (FoRB) held a special hearing on religious freedom in Tibet chaired by Lord David Alton, attended by MPs including FoRB Chairman Jim Shannon and Prime Minister’s Special Envoy Fiona Bruce Freedom of Religion, Tim Lawton, co-chair, All Party Parliamentary Group on Tibet (APPGT), parliamentary staff, NGOs and representatives from interfaith groups.

Both Tibetan leaders emphasized the continued lack of religious freedom in Tibet, especially on the GCN. The Tibetan delegation thanked Wera Webhouse MP, who initiated the interim meeting to highlight the plight of the GCN. (Arnie)
