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.
China has ended its one-child policy. A statement from the Communist Party said that couples will now be allowed to have two children. The policy was introduced in 1979 to slow the population growth rate and is estimated to have prevented about 400 million births, while leading to a gender and age imbalance in the population. Couples who violated the policy faced punishments and/or forced abortions.
