Now free of China, these lamas can say anything they want, like how China slaughtered most of them and burned down hundreds of monasteries, et al. In order to prevent this, the Chinese want to ensure that any new recognized incarnations are in their country, under their control (like their fake Panchen Lama), and not stir up any Tibetan uprisings.
From Wikipedia:
On August 3, 2007, China's State Administration for Religious Affairs issued a decree that all the reincarnations of tulkus of Tibetan Buddhism must get government approval, otherwise they are "illegal or invalid". The decree states, "It is an important move to institutionalize management on reincarnation of living Buddhas. The selection of reincarnates must preserve national unity and solidarity of all ethnic groups and the selection process cannot be influenced by any group or individual from outside the country."
Yeah, so, you get it.
Other Buddhist traditions (Zen, Theravada, Pure Land, etc.) rely only on accomplishment and worthiness to elevate people to revered teacher. The Tibetans were utterly isolated until 1949, but now, seeing that system, are coming to realize that it’s a much, much better idea.
just informative texts without ego motivation are a much lighter read. I have learned a lot :)
out of the millions movies made, for something to be awful they really must be terribly unimaginably bad. A movie isnt awful because you find it boring or dont like the plot etc
but rumours are that even in that small territory there are internal struggles. One part want to call it futonia and the other couchia
Though it's not known for sure what behavior of Justin's put him on the bureau's radar, it has been speculated that it might have to do with him posting a selfie from a Japanese shrine that celebrates war criminals who participated in the rape of Nanjing and other atrocities in China and Korea.
Now South Park is completely banned too.
Here's a hint: not liking communists isn't a USA thing; it's a pretty-much-the-whole-civilized-world thing.
That's a new one! But as an American, I'm glad to see it. What's the opposite of a back-handed compliment?
Also, banning crypto-mining is very much ok for me, it may help to make graphics cards a bit more affordable again...
Also Avatar is not banned in 3D which is kind of weird. The reason of that is cuz the CCP thinks that people wouldn't focus on the central theme being too fascinated by the effects.
he creeps me out
Regarding "Animal Farm", I tweaked the clue as the book is sold in China.
A few notes:
1. Though the reference to the Tian'anmen Square Massacre is strictly banned, the mentioning of the square itself is not —the founding of PRC is proclaimed by Mao on Tian'anmen Gate in 1949, and the once-a-decade military parades are still held at the square (last edition was in 2019)
We Chinese are more used to refer to the incident by its DATE (June 4th) instead of its location, as many other events with substantial historical significance also took place at the Square.
2: The works of George Orwell are not banned.
Also jasmine isn;t banned, you could put it as 'cut flower jasmine from Beijing wholesale markets in 2011', I dunno.
I strongly suspect that the view thought Avatar has been banned in China confused the film with the animation Avatar: The Last Airbender, whose sometimes simplified as Avatar. Despite no clear evidence indicating the animation has been banned, its subjects include religion, Tibet, and ethnicity, with the possibility of a ban.

Note: I have tweaked the clue somewhat.
I am Chinese.
It's very sad and misleading, typical American bias.
Chinas one child policy was exempt for ethnic minorities and people in rural areas.
Falun Gong and the Dalai Lama are arguably rightfully banned because the political movements they represent are harmful right wing extremist ones, which is often ignored in western media.
The internet bans can easily be circumvented with VPN's, which many chinese citizens do.
The bans on references mainly refer to public comments with large reach. Punishments for e g internet comments are rare.
From the chinese perspective Animal Farm and Chinese Democracy are hostile foreign propaganda. I'm not american but I'm pretty sure america doesn't allow "death to america" chants from Iranian propagandists in their country either.
Cryptocurrency is deservingly banned. It provides zero positive contribution to society and is very bad for the environment.
All in all there's still a lot wrong with all of this but it's not nearly as bad as many people say
