Here’s your Tibet news for today:
Reuters reports that “a government office in an ethnic Tibetan part of China’s southwestern province of Sichuan was hit by a bomb early on Monday but no casualties were reported.” An investigation has begun.
In an interview with the BBC, His Holiness the Karmapa (pictured above) said, “We can only wait for China to become more open and more democratic. The [Dalai Lama's] Middle Way Approach would then be more important because it advocates not separation from China but keeping Tibet as part of China…If there is a chance [to improve relations], I will do whatever I can.”
Both the New York Times and the Washington Post have new reports on Tibet’s willingness to talk with China and the Chinese government’s crackdown, respectively.
The Associated Press reports that the launch of Tangula Luxury Trains’ new service from Beijing to Tibet has been postponed from April until next spring. The company’s marketing director cited “China’s economic slowdown and [the government's] security crackdown [in Tibet]” as the reasons.
