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 authorities are reporting the completion of the last section of tunnel required for a 435 km railway linking Lhasa and Nyingchi. The section forms part of a 2,416 km rail link between Kham province (ch: Sichuan) and rest of the Tibet. Author and tibetologist, Claude Arpi, has described the speed at which infrastructure projects in Tibet have been resumed after China’s COVID-19 shutdown as “perplexing” and “ominous”.
