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.

US Tibetan Censorship?

February 13, 2014;

Microsoft’s search engine Bing appears to be censoring information for Chinese language users in the US in the same way it filters results in mainland China, the British Guardian reports, saying “English and Chinese language queries for terms such as ‘Dalai Lama’ return radically different results on Microsoft search engine”. Searches conducted by FreeWeibo found that results in Bing’s Chinese-language search engine on sensitive topics, such as “Dalai Lama” and “Falun Gong”, come with filters. Users get more results on same topics in the English language search engine.
