In case you are ambivalent about Communist China or thought that maybe everyone should take a nuanced view of the regime, read this: https://www.dw.com/en/china-razes-tibetan-buddhism-center/a-19419998. This corrupt regime can't fall soon enough.

What are some possible solutions to this problem and how might we also mitigate collateral damages or escalations from doing so?

Yep, similar things happening with a Pure Land teacher I follow.

I try not to get too high and mighty as the indigenous folk in my country have been having there spiritual places destroyed for over 200 years.

Wands, hands and vajras up who thinks politics or religion is a good thing or a fairy tale for controlling minds?

Here are some solutions:

• State religion oops never works
• Unstated religion, science of personal freedom/unfolding
• “It's religion Jim but not as we know it ...” (Leonard H. "Bones" McCoy)
