According to Human Rights Watch (HRW), Chinese authorities have extended massive surveillance program in villages across the Tibet Autonomous Region (TAR). 21,000 Chinese officials deployed in Tibetan villages act as spies controlling protests and ensuring that Tibetans support the Communist Party and not the Dalai Lama.
