China’s Communist Party marked the 70th anniversary of its taking control of Tibet with a call for the region to embrace the regime’s rule.

At the iconic Potala Palace, a sacred Buddhist site in Tibet’s capital Lhasa, Chinese Vice Premier Wang Yang spoke on Aug. 19 in front of a tightly-vetted crowd of 20,000 people, casting the Party as the savior that “peacefully liberated” Tibetan “peasant slaves.”
