China's ruling Communist Party aims to silence the voice of the Dalai Lama in
his Tibetan homeland by tightening controls on media and the Internet, a top
official has said.
The party's top-ranking official in the Tibet region, Chen Quanguo, vowed to "ensure
that the voices of hostile forces and the Dalai group are not seen or heard",
in an editorial published in a party journal called Qiushi.
Officials would "make sure that the voice of the party is heard and seen
everywhere in this vast 120 million square kilometre region," Mr Chen
wrote in the editorial.
China

including from exiles abroad by using radio, television and the Internet.
