Poor Tibetans lose their land and then their subsistence subsidies unless they stop practicing Buddhism. Network administrators are in charge of monitoring them.
In May 2018, Authorities ordered impoverished Tibetans living on minimal subsistence subsidies to stop worshiping Buddha or else., Your subsistence benefits could be canceled. This new order represents a intensification of the historical policy of the Chinese Communist Party (CCP) tending to persecute Tibetans and force them to abandon their religious beliefs.
Bitter Winter recently interviewed several Tibetans from the city of Lhasa in the Autonomous Region from Tibet. Numerous sources confirm that several years ago the Government appropriated the land of many local Tibetans., leaving a large number of people without income or food to survive. As a consequence of this, many Tibetans who could not earn a living had to rely on minimum subsistence subsidies provided by the Government. This latest order requiring the denial of subsistence benefits not only threatens the religious freedom, but the very survival of many low-income Buddhists.
After the announcement of the ban on practicing their faith directed at recipients of subsistence subsidies, Filling, a woman of approximately 50 years, she felt afraid. He did not dare to do the Kora or worship Buddha, since the authorities monitor each of their movements (Kora is a religious activity, as well as one of the means by which Tibetans demonstrate their religious devotion. In Tibetan or Bon Buddhist traditions, Kora is both a type of pilgrimage and a form of meditative practice).
According to sources, The local government appointed a network administrator to keep the Tibetans under surveillance 9 from morning to 9 of the night.

“It is good to worship Buddha. [The Buddhists] they don't steal, They only try to teach how to do good. ¿Why is the Government so determined to restrict and suppress our religious beliefs??”, asked a Tibetan.
Some analysts believe there is a hidden plot behind the land grab and the distribution of subsistence subsidies.. The CCP wants to take control of the Tibetan people by controlling their livelihoods. When they completely control the Tibetans, They will eliminate their religious beliefs. Limited by their survival needs, Tibetans will have no choice but to surrender to the Government.
The attempt to deny subsidies to Tibetan religious people is only the latest in a long list of abuses and persecutions imposed on this punished people.. Numerous regulations have been issued aimed at achieving comprehensive control over monks, the nuns, and the temples Tibetan Buddhists, and the Government has even tried to control the reincarnation system of Tibetan Buddhism. Public officials have also been attacked. He 9 January, a report by Voice of Tibet, citing Tibetans in China, stated that CCP authorities had issued an interdiction prohibiting Lhasa city officials from participating in Buddhist religious activities., stating that those who disobeyed orders would lose their subsistence allowances for life.
