Tulsi Gabbard's political career was secretly directed by her guru Chris Butler. Under the pen name Bo Zhongyan (

), Butler also coauthored anti-Western books in China with his wife Wai Lana (Zhang Huilan,

). They described Westerners as
"no more than dogs"
and dedicated their 1986 book to
"the great and magnificent Chinese nation"

Across China, institutional cruelty falls hardest on children. Tens of millions of rural children are left behind by parents forced to migrate for work, shut out of school and health care by the household-registration system. Around a million Tibetan children, along with the Muslim children of detained Uyghurs, have been separated from their families and placed in state institutions built to erase their language and faith.
China's ruling CCP regime treats the bond between parent and child as expendable
This is not one policy or one province. Across China, the bond between parent and child is treated as expendable, from the villages emptied by economic migration to the boarding schools built to assimilate ethnic minorities. It reaches tens of millions of children.
Tens of millions of "left-behind" children
China's household-registration system, known as hukou, ties a family's access to public schools and health care to its official hometown. When rural parents migrate to the cities for work, their children usually cannot enroll in urban schools or clinics. Rather than leave them without services, tens of millions of parents leave their children behind in the countryside, often in the care of grandparents or older siblings, seeing them only once or twice a year.
At the peak of the phenomenon, China's state-affiliated All-China Women's Federation estimated more than 60 million "left-behind" children, roughly one in five of all children in the country.

One million Tibetan children
In February 2023, three independent UN human rights experts said they were "very disturbed" that China's residential school system for Tibetan children "appears to act as a mandatory large-scale programme intended to assimilate Tibetans into majority Han culture, contrary to international human rights standards." 4
They estimated that around one million Tibetan children had been separated from their families and placed in state-run boarding schools. 5
The system is engineered by closing village schools in Tibetan areas and replacing them with township and county boarding schools that teach almost entirely in Mandarin, with little or no instruction in the Tibetan language, history, or religion. 4
Children typically return home only a week or two a year. Many lose the ability to speak Tibetan and can no longer communicate easily with their own parents. 6

The children of Xinjiang
As China detained an estimated one million or more Uyghurs and other Muslims in "re-education" camps, the regime placed their children in state institutions: younger children in orphanages, older children in boarding schools. 7
Researcher Adrian Zenz, drawing on Chinese government documents, found that the number of children living in boarding facilities in Xinjiang grew by more than 380,000 between 2017 and 2019, from roughly 500,000 to nearly 900,000. In Yarkand County alone, government data showed more than 10,000 children classified as in "hardship" because one or both parents were detained; about 1,000 had both parents in custody. 8
In September 2023, UN experts again warned that Xinjiang was expanding the forced separation of Uyghur children from their families, raising them in a language and culture not their own. 9
The same cruelty, different masks
These are not the same policy. Left-behind children are abandoned by a system that refuses rural families the right to keep their children with them. Tibetan and Uyghur children are deliberately taken to be remade. But the effect on the child is identical: the most important bond a human being has, the bond to a parent, is treated as expendable by the people in power.
That logic does not require a government. It only requires an authority who believes children belong to him rather than to their families. Tulsi Gabbard's guru built exactly that system inside his own church, and sent the children overseas, beyond the reach of American law, to do it.
Around a million Tibetan and Uyghur children have been separated from their families and placed in state institutions.
We all know what happens to children who have no protectors.
Whether by a household-registration system, a re-education camp, or a guru's overseas ashram, the cruelty is the same: the child is treated as the property of those in power, not as a person who belongs to a family.
