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.
The University of Massachusetts in Boston, United States, has closed its Confucius Institute – it is the 13th academic institution in the US to do so. Confucius Institutes are funded by Beijing and there is concern that they threaten academic freedom and free speech by silencing discussion on political and human rights issues sensitive to China – including Tibet, Taiwan and Tiananmen Square massacre of 1989.
