Anyone who is not a “useful idiot” of China knows that Beijing’s so-called “whole process people’s democracy” to describe the country’s government system in glowing terms lacks any substance, and is, in fact, nothing but a euphemism for justifying its brutal authoritarian rule. But that has not prevented China from taking a potshot at the exile Tibetans’ elections for choosing their leaders, with its official globaltimes.cn Apr 7 calling it an “election without a land” and “an institutional illusion created by separatist groups in exile”.
Employing an occupying power’s yardstick for determining the legitimacy of the exile Tibetan setup, the unusually lengthy report cited Chinese Foreign Ministry spokespersons as having repeatedly stressed that “the so-called Tibetan government-in-exile is entirely an organized separatist political group with a political platform and an agenda for ‘Tibet independence’.”
It is an illicit organization that violates China’s Constitution and laws. No country in the world recognizes it, the report maintained.
