Tibet China Corona: Strict zero covid policy proved very helpful for China in preventing corona infection. However, after its implementation, the government also had to face opposition. It was alleged that this policy in particular has made the lives of local Tibetans hell. There were strict restrictions on them, in which some relaxation has been done. Meanwhile, Marco Respinti, who has expressed his opinion on religious freedom and human rights without any hesitation, has made serious allegations against the Chinese government while keeping his opinion in an Italian magazine (Bitter Winter).
According to a report in this Italian magazine, the Chinese Communist Party used the lockdown to control Tibetans and monitor them more. Significantly, Xi Jinping’s strict zero-covid policy proved very effective in China. The magazine has described Xi Jinping’s strict zero-covid policy as a major weapon of repression. According to the report, through the lockdown and its strict rules, the government kept the large population of Tibet under control and monitored them.
Tibetans targeted
Respinti said that religious groups, ethnic minorities and vulnerable people were targeted during the strict zero-covid policy. Voice of America (VoA) said in a report on September 22 that Tibetans are more closely monitored and treated harshly than others due to the political sensitivity of the region. Please tell that then people were quarantined in empty stadiums, schools, godowns and unfinished buildings in the capital Lhasa.
According to the report of Bitter Winter, a lot of protests started on social media after the lockdown in Tibet. Tibetans were even arrested for daring to share pictures and videos related to Covid online. Along with this, an atmosphere of fear was created among the people. It was alleged that China’s zero covid policy made the lives of local Tibetans hell. They were forced to bear the inhuman covid restrictions.
Recently, Voice Against Autocracy accused the Xi Jinping administration, saying that by relaxing the Corona restrictions, the Corona infection is actually being made a medium for mass genocide of the original Tibetans settled in Tibet. Claimed that since Beijing lifted strict Covid restrictions, 100 people have died of Covid infection in Lhasa alone.
