U.S. Geopolitics: Afghanistan and the Containment of China
China’s fear is replicating the fall of the Soviet Union. When its borderlands, Central Asia and Transcaucasus, were lost, the Russian core shattered into three states: Byelorussia, Ukraine, and Russia. Should China loses its borderlands, Tibet and Xinjiang, the Chinese core may similarly shatter.
Covid-19 catch-22: Regime-change policies come packed with US pandemic relief
While the US public was forced to grovel for months for a $600 direct payment, the same piece of legislation pumps billions of dollars into “democracy programs” — US government code for regime-change operations via civil society NGOs — and foreign military assistance. The measly $600 survival checks pale in comparison to the massive foreign spending on regime change and titanic allocations to prop up US-friendly authoritarian militaries.
US’ Tibet coordinator ‘a vain try’
The appointment of Destro aims to play the Tibet card to save Trump’s presidency. It is useless to change the situation in Tibet, but only exposes the US’ attempt to use Tibet separatists to split China, which will be resented by the Chinese people, Zhu said.
Speaker Pema Jungney disapproves, rejects Guo Wengui’s ‘new federal state of China’
Speaker Pema Jungney called out “retired Chinese football star Hao Haidong and fugitive Chinese billionaire Guo Wengui” over their proposed founding of a “New Federal State of China,” as he pointed out that the duo “announced the formation of a non-governmental organization called ‘Himalaya Supervisory Organization’ along with a stretch banner for it and condemned them for unilaterally including “the great nation of Tibet in their proposed new federal state of China” as well as for using “disrespectful terms in referring to His Holiness the Dalai Lama,” for hurling a “multitude of epithets against the Tibetan people living in exile.”
US sends message to China, starts direct funding to exiled Tibet govt in India
The United States has for the first time directly provided funds to the Tibetan Government-in-Exile based in India, a move likely to rile up China.

Tibet: The CIA’s Cancelled War
However there was one dramatic departure from the minimalist approach. For nearly two decades after the 1950 Chinese takeover of Tibet, the CIA ran a covert operation designed to train Tibetan insurgents and gather intelligence about the Chinese, as part of its efforts to contain the spread of communism around the world. Though little known today, the program produced at least one spectacular intelligence coup and provided a source of support for the Dalai Lama. On the eve of Richard Nixon’s historic 1972 meeting with Mao, the program was abruptly cancelled, thus returning the US to its traditional arms-length policy toward Tibet. But this did not end the long legacy of mistrust that continues to color Chinese-American relations. Not only was the Chinese government aware of the CIA program; in 1992 it published a white paper on the subject. The paper included information drawn from reliable Western sources about the agency’s activities, but laid the primary blame for the insurgency on the “Dalai Lama clique,” a phrase Beijing still uses today.
