Samdhong Rinpoche

Samdhong Rinpoche, prime minister of the Tibetan government-in-exile, talks about the problems of the Tibetan people and China. He expects little from the G20 summit concerning human rights. Tibet’s economic development has been achieved by stripping the country of its natural resources. China’s economic development has been achieved by exploiting workers and denying their rights.

China’s Communist authority abducted the Panchen Lama Gedhun Choekyi Nyima when he was just six years old. He and his parents have not been seen or heard ever since. Tibetan Prime Minister in exile Samdhong Rinpoche talks about this inhuman treatment and launches an appeal.

Samdhong Rinpoche speaks about 50 years of Chinese repression and the ongoing attempt at cultural genocide. Tibetans are urged to respond without violence. Beijing feels threatened even by Tibetan Buddhism.
