China is fine and peachy with all other kinds of Buddhism now, but Tibetan Buddhism is different since it is a statist religion; it recognizes that the Dalai Lama is the rightful and holy leader of Tibet, thereby threatening the Chinese dictatorship. Like Jane said, it has far more to do with fanatic statists than atheism, if the Chinese dictatorship was Christian or whatever they'd do the same, any religion that accepts unconditionally another authority is a threat to them.
