Contact is taking a break after 25 years of bringing you news of Tibet and Tibetan issues. We are celebrating our 25 years by bringing you the story of Contact and the people who have made it happen, and our archive is still there for you to access at any time, and below you can read the story of Contact, how it came into being and the wonderful reflections of the people who have made it happen over the years.
When and how Contact will re-emerge and evolve will be determined by those who become involved.
Chen Quanguo, China’s top official in Tibet, has ordered that Red Chinese National flags must be flown in Buddhist monasteries across Tibet, and Buddhist monks and nuns will be evaluated for their “patriotism” – a term often used to mean allegiance to political authorities. The Chinese state media has shown an image of the Chinese red flag flying from one of the most sacred Tibetan sites, the Jokhang Temple in Lhasa.
