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.
Chinese state media eng.tibet.cn has announced the launch of the new China Beidou Navigation Integrated Application Platform which, it says, is a navigation system that will enable herdsmen to locate their herds’ exact position by fitting livestock with microchip collars. The announcement does not give the cost to herders of the technology nor details of whether there will be grants to enable them to buy it.
