The United States has expressed concern about the persecution of Tibetan Buddhists by Chinese authorities. The U.S. State Department on Thursday expressed concern about China’s actions against Tibetan Buddhists but did not stop.
It should be noted that Tibetan Buddhists have recently become an ethnic minority in Tibet. There are reports that Buddha statues are being destroyed there as part of a campaign to eradicate their heritage. In this context, the State Department of International Religious Freedom Office appealed to the Chinese authorities to preserve the Buddhist faith.
According to the State Department of International Religious Freedom, the main purpose of US foreign policy is to establish freedom of religion or belief for all. For that purpose, an appeal has been made to China about the Tibetan Buddhists.
On Wednesday, Chinese authorities destroyed an ancient Buddhist statue made by Tibetans in the western Chinese province of Sichuan. It is the second Buddhist statue to be destroyed by the Chinese in recent times. It is learned that a three-storied statue of Maitreya Buddha was destroyed at Gaden Namyal Ling Monastery in Drago County, Tibet Autonomous Region. The statement came just days after the demolition of the statue.
