China Hopes For The Sound of Silence

China to stamp out Dalai Lama's 'propaganda' in Tibet

 China aims to stamp out the voice of exiled Tibetan spiritual leader the Dalai Lama in his restive and remote homeland by ensuring that his "propaganda" is not received by anyone on the Internet, television or other means, a top official said.Writing in the ruling Communist Party's influential journal Qiushi, the latest issue of which was received by subscribers on Saturday, 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, whose name means "seeking truth".
China's ruling Communist Party wants blind adherence to its political philosophy as they seem to view themselves (the ruling elite) as deities who can do no wrong.  Like any benevolent dictators opposition to its rule no matter how insignificant must be eradicated for all time.  Even those that pose little or  no threat to its rule must be silenced for all time.   That's how compassionate authoritarian governments operate    
Over time this will come back to haunt China's rulers as more and more of its ethnic population feels marginalized by governments efforts to make everyone the same when they are not.
