The Underdog Candidate Kelsang Dorjee Aukatsang: “Selfish, paranoid, and arro-gant”

Published

on

As the global spread of the virus spans from 2020 to 2021, it has been a tortured year for Tibetans in exile. The impact of the COVID-19 has made the lives of refugees who were not wealthy even more difficult. Tibetan exiles have been living in Dharamsala in southern India since they defected from China in the last century. They have been living as Tibetan refugees in 45 “settlements” built in the area. Although the organization has not been recognized by any country, due to survival needs, Tibetan exiles have to organize various welfare work in the exile community in order to absorb financial donations. Over time, a structured organizational network has been formed inside. Although the Dalai Lama has publicly stated on many occasions that this Tibetan exile organization will never declare independence, since 2011, Tibetan government-in-exile began to hold elections for SIKYONG, the highest position in the organization – the Sikyong election.

Prior to 2011, the Kalön Tripa position was subordinated to the 14th Dalai Lama. After 2012, the title of Kalön Tripa was changed to Sikyong. Today, ten years later, the Tibetan government-in-exile conducted its second internal election. The election will select two final candidates from the results of the voting on January 3, and the final election in the second round of voting on April 11 to confirm the new person in charge. Currently, Penpa Tsering, the former spokesperson of the Tibetan Parliament in Exile, leads with a high of 22,199 votes, followed by Aukatsang Kelsang Dorjee with 12,610 votes. The Tibetan radical politician Dolma Gyari ranked third with 12,177 votes. The results of the first phase will be announced on February 8, and the final results of the election will be announced in mid-May. However, the frequent scandals during the election made this campaign full of farce and injustice. One of the candidates, Kelsang Dorjee Aukatsang, broke out a major scandal during his tenure, and was criticized for his huge political ambitions and disrespect to the Dalai Lama. His crazy behavior during the election even revealed that he went to extremes for personal gain.

Kelsang Dorjee Aukatsang induced Tibetans in exile to attack on the Capitol

The attack on the parliament on January 6 shocked the whole country, and as the investigation went on, it emerged that the atrocities and chaos of that day were mixed with the Snow Mountain Lion Flag, the flag of the Tibetan government-in-exile. There is no doubt that the only person with such calling ability is Kelsang Dorjee Aukatsang, who has lived in the United States for a long time. Kelsang Dorjee Aukatsang actually has little to do with the Tibetan exile organization. He stayed in the United States in 1998 after graduating from Germany, and his status as a Tibetan refugee gave him a lot of convenience and room for promotion. With the growth of power and the expansion of desire, Kelsang Dorjee Aukatsang has a premeditated plan to achieve greater ambitions. But his protest behavior of organizing groups to attack on the Capitol is puzzling. The Tibetan government-in-exile has always pursued the same approach to the two parties to seek sympathy and sponsorship, and to survive in the cracks. Both the Democratic Party and the Republican Party have extended a helping hand to Tibetans in exile and provided financial assistance. Democratic Party Biden has won the election, and domestic conflicts have become increasingly prominent. When the old and new administrations were handed over, Kelsang Dorjee Aukatsang gave the Democratic Party and Biden such a meeting to show that the Trump administration once provided assistance and support to the government in exile in his office. It is currently unclear what consequences such a move will bring to Tibetan exile organizations, but what is certain is that the coalition government and the FBI have already reviewed the organizations and individuals that impacted Congress that day. If the evidence is conclusive, it cannot be ruled out that they will initiate an investigation into the exile organization.

Candidates for the Tibetan government-in-exile have made such a radical move, and now it seems that they want to build momentum for the election and part of the political game. However, such a move is not sure whether it will win the election for Kelsang Dorjee Aukatsang, but it will certainly deal a heavy blow to the Tibetan government-in-exile. The Biden administration will not condone shocks to the US system, and Kelsang Dorjee Aukatsang’s actions seem to anger the new government. Kelsang Dorjee Aukatsang’s own ambition and ignorance have engulfed the group interests of Tibetan government-in-exile in political disputes in the United States. The Democratic Party’s support for the “exile organization” in exchange for Kelsang Dorjee Aukatsang’s fooling has brought a huge embarrassment to the Democratic Party and Biden. Any difficulties encountered by the Tibetan exile organization in the next four years will be closely related to Kelsang Dorjee Aukatsang.

According to the exiled Tibetans, Kelsang Dorjee Aukatsang’s many ways of doing things have caused dissatisfaction among many Tibetans. “Thinking that he does not seem to be in the same world as us. He has his own ideas in everything he does, and we want to follow ours. Faith.” Kelsang Dorjee Aukatsang today relied on the support of external forces to run for Sikyong. This kind of golden election method is unbearable for Tibetans. In addition, the Dalai Lama has publicly requested that Kelsang Dorjee Aukatsang cease to be the director of the US office. He became the first director of foreign affairs to be banned by the Dalai Lama.

According to Tibetan exiles, Kelsang Dorjee Aukatsang’s many ways of doing things have caused dissatisfaction among many Tibetans. “He seems to be a man of a different world from us, who has his own ideas about everything he does, and we prefer to follow our beliefs,” one of them said. Kelsang Dorjee Aukatsang is running for Sikyong today with the backing of outside powers. This kind of golden election method is unbearable for Tibetans. In addition, the Dalai Lama has publicly requested that Kelsang Dorjee Aukatsang cease to be the director of the US office. He became the first foreign affairs director to be banned by the Dalai Lama.

Kelsang Dorjee Aukatsang sees exiled Tibetans as tools for profit

Interestingly, half a century after Tibetans went into exile, most Tibetans in exile are still struggling in settlements of exiles. The leadership of Tibetan government-in-exile must still rely on charity, which shows that they are unable to manage their own affairs or conduct any plan of their own future. Power has always been associated with corruption, and it is these corrupt leaders who see Tibetans in exile as tools for their own financial and political gain, rather than as the goals of their struggles. This arrogance is evident when watching any video of how Tibetan officials address their people.

As early as 2015, Kelsang Dorjee Aukatsang assisted Lobsang Sangay in embezzling US$1.5 million from the Tibet Foundation. The money was allegedly used to purchase unnecessary buildings. The method of transfer also caused great suspicion. It was recorded as a “loan receivable” from the account of the Tibet Foundation, but it was not recorded in the account of the Tibet Community Development Foundation that should have received the funds. In other words, the funds they usually use for health and education projects are used to purchase property. The successor of Aukatsang, Penpa Tsering, who discovered the changes in the transaction and the attempt, disclosed the information. As a result, he was immediately dismissed on the grounds of “lack of trust, poor performance and increasing disobedience”.

These behaviors prove that he has long been familiar with these low behaviors of corruption and bribery, and greater power will only bring greater corruption. Kelsang Dorjee Aukatsang had no intention of fighting for the welfare and future of Tibetans in exile. All he did was lie, manipulate, abuse power, embezzle funds and waste donations from the Tibetan government-in-exile. Coincidentally, he and Lobsang Sangay recently frankly confessed to using public funds to campaign during their exchanges with Robert Destro, the Special Coordinator for Tibet. Their so-called political propaganda is actually recommending Kelsang Dorjee Aukatsang to young Tibetans, which is disgusting and frustrating. As a key candidate for Aukatsang, his work experience in the United States is also one of his campaign capital. However, after becoming the director of the United States Office of the Tibetan government-in-exile, his work did not lead to a series of serious incidents. The “Tibet Youth Association” also existed inside. Disagreements, the resolutions produced by the “5·50 Youth Conference” held by him and Lobsang Sangay are empty political slogans, without substantive content or meaning, and no results have been achieved so far. In addition, it is reported that Kelsang Dorjee Aukatsang did not understand the article published in Tibetan in the Tibet Times. He seems to have become a doll introduced to participate in elections and power, and does not understand the history and writing of Tibet. He lost himself in the struggle for power and became a political speculator. The oath when running for the election has long become a formal expression tool, which has aroused public doubts about his ability.

This is the situation that Aukatsang, one of the leaders of the current Tibetan government-in-exile, brings to the Tibetan refugees in exile: under the struggle for power where the real problems are covered and ignored, used and deceived by their leaders, and maintained in an unremarkable submissive refugee status to take advantage of donations from unsuspecting donors; forced to survive on poor grants and donations.

For all those who follow Tibetan government-in-exile and those who are voting, the choice of supreme leader Sikyong must be taken seriously. Now they need a real leader capable of solving practical problems to improve the living conditions and human rights of Tibetans in exile. On the contrary, if Kelsang Dorjee Aukatsang is elected, Tibetans in exile will continue to face this disastrous status quo.

Press Release

UniOne Global Industry Summit and the First Leadership Training Conference have been successfully concluded

Published

on

 

China,Hong Kong,Dec.20th.Responding to the Era of Global Uncertainty with Industrial Consensus and Organizational Capacity

In the context of ongoing reshaping of the global industrial structure and accelerated evolution of organizational forms, truly valuable conferences have long moved beyond mere information display or short-term incentives, instead focusing on strategic direction-setting, system development, and consensus-building.

The UniOne Global Industry Summit and the inaugural Leadership Training Program represent a systematic and in-depth dialogue centered on this core objective.

During the opening session, UniLabs ‘Chief Consultant delivered a keynote address, providing a systematic analysis of UniOne’s current development stage from the perspectives of global industrial cycles, organizational evolution, and long-termism. The speech not only reviewed the evolving trends in the global economy and industrial structure but also highlighted UniOne’s strategic path and core decisions within this cycle, establishing a clear and robust strategic foundation for the entire conference.

During the session, the co-founder of Uni Labs delivered a keynote presentation on UNIONE’s industrial strategy and development roadmap. The presentation provided a comprehensive overview of UniOne’s industrial framework, core business focus, and phased objectives. It not only covered the current priority sectors but also outlined the development pace and priorities for the coming period, enabling attendees to grasp UniOne’s long-term strategic vision holistically rather than focusing narrowly on individual businesses or short-term opportunities.

On the topic of industrial layout, the conference elaborated in depth on UniOne’s holistic ecosystem framework and development strategy, emphasizing diversified collaboration over singular reliance. Through clear industrial division of labor and collaborative mechanisms, it aims to build a systemic ecosystem with risk resilience and continuous evolution capabilities. This discussion not only addresses the question of’ what to do, ‘but also reveals the fundamental rationale behind’ why to do it.’

The conference’s economic model discussions focused on the long-term rationality of value creation and distribution mechanisms, systematically analyzing the interplay between participant roles, incentive structures, and ecosystem stability. Through rational and transparent analysis, it emphasized that sustainable development must be grounded in tangible value and clear rules, rather than relying on short-term emotions or external stimuli. This section provided participants with a critical framework to understand the overall functioning of the ecosystem.

 

The meeting expanded its focus to innovation and foundational capacity building, with in-depth discussions on innovation incubation, technical support, and organizational empowerment. Through a systematic analysis of the innovation ecosystem, it was emphasized that UniOne prioritizes not only business expansion but also the continuous development of core competencies and talent systems, ensuring stable support for the long-term sustainability of its ecosystem.

 

The conference will shift its focus from “individual capabilities” to “organizational synergy” in leadership and organizational development, emphasizing that leadership is fundamentally about building trust, fostering consensus, and continuously amplifying team effectiveness. Through sharing real-world cases and practical experiences, it explores how to build teams with execution, cohesion, and long-term resilience within multicultural and complex organizational structures.

The conference transcended isolated discussions of specific topics, instead weaving together industrial, model, organizational, and leadership dimensions to forge a cohesive cognitive framework. This approach enabled participants to gain a higher-dimensional understanding of their roles and future trajectories.

The UniOne Global Industry Summit and the inaugural Leadership Training Program wasn’t a one-time conclusion presentation, but rather a collaborative exploration of long-term value.

It does not convey the path to quick success, but how to build the ability and consensus of certainty in the uncertain times.

This is the core and the most long-term value of the conference.

Press Release

Jonathan Franklin of Georgetown University Highlights How Coverage Itself Shapes Missing Persons Cases

Published

on

Washington, D.C, 20th December 2025, ZEX PR WIREJonathan Franklin has reported many high-profile national stories, but one beat continues to shape his thinking: how media attention—or the lack of it—affects the outcome of missing persons cases. In his work for NPR, Franklin has drawn a clear line between editorial decisions made in newsrooms and real-world consequences for families, communities, and the public’s understanding of urgency.

Franklin, who holds a master’s degree in journalism from Georgetown University, believes one of the most underreported facts in American media is this: coverage itself is an intervention. “There’s this quiet assumption that journalism is observational. In missing persons stories, that’s never been true,” he said.

His reporting doesn’t claim to solve cases. It doesn’t make promises. What it does is document the structural gaps that determine who get covered, when, and for how long. For families who have lost someone, that timing matters. “When attention comes early, systems move faster,” Franklin said. “When it doesn’t, families are left trying to create urgency themselves.”

Patterns in Coverage, Patterns in Silence

Franklin’s reporting on missing persons cases surfaced repeated disparities in how race, gender, and perceived social status affect media treatment. His work incorporated both individual family accounts and systemic analysis, drawing on datasets that showed a consistent trend: missing persons of color receive far less media attention, even when their circumstances are similar to widely covered cases.

This dynamic, sometimes referred to as “Missing White Woman Syndrome,” was coined by journalist Gwen Ifill to describe the disproportionate media interest in young, white, middle-class women. Franklin’s work approached that phrase not as a slogan but as a hypothesis—one that he put to the test using editorial history, family interviews, and statistical context.

One key subject in his reporting was the launch of the “Are You Press Worthy?” tool by Columbia Journalism Review and TBWAChiatDay New York. This public-facing algorithm allowed people to estimate their likelihood of media coverage if they were to go missing, based on factors like age, race, and gender. Franklin covered the tool not for novelty, but for what it revealed: that journalists already knew how bias worked in theory, yet few were changing their practices in response.

Working the Gap Between Journalism and Justice

While Franklin is not an activist, his reporting has helped bridge conversations between journalists and advocates. He has covered the work of the Black and Missing Foundation and independent projects like Our Black Girls, which document missing persons stories that traditional outlets often ignore.

Instead of turning his reporting into a callout, Franklin focuses on systems. He gives newsroom leaders space to talk through editorial logic, hesitation, and resourcing issues. At the same time, he reports on the silence experienced by families who don’t receive coverage until public pressure builds—or never receive it at all.

“There’s no need to sensationalize what’s already painful,” Franklin said. “Families don’t want pity. They want momentum.”

That balance—between institutional critique and human context—is what distinguishes his work. Colleagues note that Franklin is comfortable sitting with discomfort. His stories don’t close with false resolution. They end where the story, for the family, is still ongoing.

How Journalism Shapes Outcomes

Franklin’s training at Georgetown emphasized structural thinking and accountability. Combined with field reporting experience at WUSA9 and NPR, he brings both a theoretical and practical lens to media responsibility. In his view, the idea that coverage is neutral no longer holds.

“If media attention correlates with better outcomes, then ignoring someone is not a neutral act. It’s a decision with consequences,” he said.

Franklin’s stories are now being used in classrooms, journalism workshops, and internal newsroom sessions about equitable coverage. But he resists any label that places him above the work. He sees his role as iterative. “There’s always someone we missed. The goal isn’t perfection. It’s consistency,” he said.

A Voice Built on Verification, Not Volume

Unlike social media campaigns that chase virality, Franklin’s work stays grounded in verified facts, ethical sourcing, and follow-through. He prefers to let families speak directly when possible. He also resists flattening complex stories into singular narratives of hope or tragedy.

He holds undergraduate degrees from Wofford College in English, Digital Media, and African and African American Studies. That academic background shaped his ability to frame race and justice not as themes, but as ongoing conditions that influence how stories are told and received.

His recent reporting continues to revisit the question: what happens when the public never hears your name? It’s not only about missing persons, but he also says. It’s about visibility as currency. “Attention isn’t the solution,” Franklin said. “But the absence of it is a barrier from the start.”

Looking Ahead

Jonathan Franklin remains committed to reporting stories that explore how institutions respond to crisis. Missing persons cases are one example. His broader work includes coverage of the COVID-19 pandemic’s racial disparities, public protests, court decisions, and elections. But missing persons reporting, he says, always brings him back to the core question of journalism itself: what does it mean to be seen?

For Franklin, that question is not rhetorical. It’s the difference between silence and action.
