BEIJING: China has banned India-trained "wrongly educated" monks from teaching Buddhism, fearing they may be of "separatist" bend. The ban was imposed by a county in China's Southwest province in Sichuan, according to the state-run Global Times.
An official said on Monday that "monks wrongly educated in India were banned from teaching Buddhism to residents of Litang county".
