BEIJING has launched a vast re-education campaign in Tibet to promote Chinese patriotism and counter the “Dalai clique”.

This follows the restoration of an edgy form of order since last month’s violent riots in Tibet against Chinese rule.

Those involved in the anti-Chinese Lhasa riots of March 14 will be asked to denounce their actions and condemn others who took part.

Tibet Daily, an official newspaper, heralded the launch of a two-month campaign “to fight separatism, maintain stability and promote development”.

This will be driven, it said, by Communist Party organisations in both cities and countryside.

Nomadic herders and “other peasants”, it said, would be educated about “the true facts of what happened on March 14 (in Lhasa), about patriotism, ethnic unity, social stability and obedience to the law”.
