Tibet Today
Change is afoot in Tibet. The economy is booming at the fastest rate in Ch-
ina; extended train, air and road links are revolutionising life across the plat-
eau; and Tibet's urban areas are modernising and expanding at an unpreced-
ented rate. As the face of Tibet changes beyond recognition, many Tibetans
feel they are becoming increasingly marginalised in their own land. With
every expression of Tibetan discontent, Běijīng simply tightens its political
and religious controls.
