Efforts to stamp out Dalai's voice.

                       Efforts to stamp out Dalai's voice.

China aims to stamp out the voice of exiled Tibetan spiritual leader the Dalai Lama in his  resitive and remote homeland by ensuring that his "propaganda" is not received by anyone on the internet,television, or other means, a top official said.

China has tried with varying degrees of success,to prevent Tibetans listening to or watching programmes broadcast from outside the country, or accessing any information about the Dalai Lama and the exiled government on the internet.
But many Tibetans are still able to access such news,either via illegal satellite TV or by skirting Chinese internet restrictions. The Dalai Lama's picture and his teachings are also smuggled in Tibet, at great personal risk.
Writing in the ruling Communist Party's influential journal Qiushi , the latest issues of which was received by subscriber today,Tibet's party chief Chen Quanguo said that the government would ensure only its voice is heard.
"Strike hard against the reactionary propaganda of the splittists from entering Tibet,"Chen wrote in the magazine. The government will achieve this by confiscating illegal satellite dishes ,increasing monitoring of online content and making sure all telephone and internet users are registered using their real names, he added.

"Work hard to ensure that the voice and image of the party is heard and seen over the vast expanses of Tibet and that the voice and image of the enemy forces and the Dalai clique are neither seen or heard,"Chen wrote.
China calls the Nobel Prize-winning Dalai Lama a "wolf in sheep's clothing " who seeks to use violent methods to establish an independent Tibet.
The Dalai Lama says he simply wants genuine autonomy for Tibet, and denies espousing violences.
Chen said the party would seek to expose the Dalai Lama's hypocrisy and deception "and his "reactionary plots".
China has long defended its iron-fisted rule in Tibet,saying the region suffered from dire poverty,brutual exploitation and economic stagnation until 1950, when Communist troops "peacefully liberated Tibet".
