Xi says China to step up efforts to fight 'splittism' in Tibet August 28, 2020 at 11:15PM

China must build an "impregnable fortress" to maintain stability in Tibet, protect national unity and educate the masses in the struggle against "splittism", President Xi Jinping told senior leaders, state media said on Saturday. China seized control over Tibet in 1950 in what it describes as a "peaceful liberation" helping the Himalayan region throw off its "feudalist" past.
