"This represents globalisation at its most appalling: a spiritual leader oppressed in China is being commercialised by China itself," wrote the advocacy group Chinese Youth Stand 4 Tibet, which connects Chinese-Tibetan youth and is led by activist Ginger Duan, according to the Phayul report.
The conference featured distinguished Chinese democracy advocates Fang Zheng and Zhou Fengsuo, Ginger Duan, a member of the online platform "Chinese Youth Stand 4 Tibet," and Tsultrim Gyatso, the Chinese Liaison Officer at the Office of Tibet, as reported by the CTA.
