Three Chinese journalists from the Chinese state-run Xinhua whose Indian visas were not renewed have now been revealed as having a connection with Tibetan Shugden practitioners in south India. The Indian media reported the connection; it is widely believed that China supports the now discredited Shugden (or Dorje) sect which actively campaigns against the Dalai Lama in order to discredit His Holiness and create disunity in the Tibetan community.
