The Chinese news agency Xinhua has claimed that a new, Chinese bred, yak is the answer to “poverty” on the Tibetan plateau. The Ashidan yak can be kept inside and is well suited to large-scale intensive breeding. Tibetans have been successfully breeding yaks, making a good livelihood, living sustainably on the plateau for around 8,000 years before the Chinese invasion in the 1950s.
