Contact is taking a holiday!

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.

Tibetans Recruited

April 21, 2021;

Tibetans are being recruited from across Tibet to join the Chinese military; they are wanted to strengthen China’s presence along the Tibet/India border where standoffs between the two countries are becoming more frequent; the most recent took place on April 9. There is speculation that Tibetans are being recruited as, unlike Chinese soldiers, they are less affected by the high altitudes in Tibet and can therefore work more effectively along the mountainous border.
