TH FIRST THING YOU REALIZE WHEN BEING IN TIBETAN AREAS – WHETEHR IT’S THE TIBETAN QUARTER OF CHENGDU OR HOMES OF THE NOMADIC FAMILIES OF QINGHAI – IS THAT IT’S COMPLICATED.
WE SUGGEST CLIMBERS EDUCATE THEMSELVES BEYOND THE HOLLYWOOD OR BBC VERSIONS OF THE MODERN TIBET STORY, THEN VISIT WITH AN OPEN MIND BEFORE MAKING THEIR OWN JUDGEMENT.
THERE ARE RULES ABOUT THE DISPLAY OF IMAGES RELATING TO THE DALAI LAMA & THE TIBETAN EXILE FLAG AND VISITING AS CLIMBERS IS NOT THE TIME OR PLACE TO DISPLAY AN AGENDA. CHINA’S SECURITY ESCHALON HAS DEALT WITH THIS BEFORE.
