China recruiting Tibetans in PLA for deployment at LAC, makes one-soldier per-Tibetan family compulsory

In a bid to strengthen its military deployment along the Line of Actual Control (LAC) with India, China has made it mandatory for every Tibetan family to send one member to the People’s Liberation Army (PLA). The recruitment is being made after a ‘loyalty test’ of the Tibetan youths – which include learning the mainland Chinese language and accepting the supremacy of the Chinese Communist Party (CCP) over any other belief

The Chinese are making every possible effort to strengthen their presence along the Line of Action (LAC), especially in extreme weather areas such as Ladakh and Arunachal Pradesh.

“The Chinese Army has started this project to induct one member each from the loyal families of Tibetans who would be deployed permanently at the LAC with India,” sources told media.

“We have been receiving intelligence inputs that the Chinese army is recruiting Tibetan youths for carrying out special operations along the LAC with India and they have been holding regular exercises to prepare them for such operations,” sources added.
