China's attempt to 're-educate' monks sparks deadly riot
China vowed today to ramp up its controversial “patriotic education” campaign for monks even though the latest deadly protests in Tibetan areas were sparked by deep resentment over its enforcement.
The Tibet Daily newspaper reported today the government has pledged to “strengthen patriotic education,” which requires monks to denounce their spiritual leader, the Dalai Lama, and declare their loyalty to Beijing.
