In 2020, CCP declared to build the world's highest-altitude cloud computing data centre in Tibet to "meet the data storage needs of China and South Asian nations like Nepal, Bangladesh and Pakistan."

A report found that Chinese officers visited fields, monasteries, residential neighbourhoods, businesses, and even schools to collect “pin-prick blood samples” from Tibetans. According to Students For Free Tibet, the Chinese government is building the world’s largest police-run DNA database with the help of key industry partners in the West.
