Junk Food Campaign

February 18, 2014;

Tibetans in Rebgong, in the Golog prefecture in northeastern Tibet have launched a new campaign: “War against junk food”. Tibetans living in Gomar village in Rebkong are reported as saying the local government’s apathy towards children’s health has prompted them to wage the movement and they have started burning junk foods. University students have been sending messages through we-chat and are planning to take this movement to all the villages. The Rebgong region has become one of the focal points of political protest against the Chinese government’s repressive policies.
