In mountain-locked Lhasa, the tame Panchen Lama parroted the words of his Red Chinese masters, told Tibetans that their only choice was the "building up of a new and socialist Tibet" or preserving "the cruel, dark and backward serf system forever." The Chinese Reds, admitting that the rebellion still continued, ominously suggested that they might set up their notorious People's Courts to try recalcitrant landlords and monks.
