Tibetan Official Expelled and Property Seized Under China’s Expanding Religious Crackdown

7 months ago

The Qinghai Provincial Disciplinary Inspection Commission announced that Tenzin, a senior Tibetan official and former deputy director of the Qinghai Provincial Forestry and Grassland Department, has been expelled from the Communist Party of China (CPC) and had his personal property confiscated. The Commission accused him of “losing faith,” “engaging in religious activities,” and “forgetting the Party’s original intentions.”

According to the report by Tibet Times, the disciplinary statement further alleged that Tenzin “used his authority for personal gain,” “accepted gifts,” and “failed to report personal matters,” — the kind of vague and politicized accusations often used by Chinese authorities to suppress Tibetan officials who quietly observe religious practices or express cultural loyalty.
