China To Test Tibetan Monks For Patriotism

In an effort to insure that Buddhism is killed off in Tibet the Chinese Communist government has announced testing will be required for all Tibetan monks and nuns to insure they are patriotic.  In others their religion is the Communist party and not Buddhism. 


China’s top official in Tibet vowed on Wednesday to evaluate Buddhist monks and nuns for their “patriotism” and install national flags in monasteries to strengthen ideological control in the region.
The ruling Communist party will deepen “assessment activities” to ensure “model harmonious monasteries” as well as “patriotic, law-abiding monks and nuns”, the region’s party chief Chen Quanguo wrote in the People’s Daily newspaper.
It was not clear on what grounds the assessments would be made. China often uses terms such as “patriotic” and “harmonious” to mean allegiance to political authorities.
The drive would be aimed at making monks and nuns “feel the warmth and care of the Party and government”, Chen added
"The love and warmth of the party"   Making them party hacks is more important than say? Thinking for one's self or having individual religious beliefs.
