Despite China's tight control over information flow within its society, a growing number of Tibetan literary elites are playing an important role writing, blogging and interacting with the Chinese populace, voicing their minds through stories, poems, and blogs. The focus of our discussion today is Tsering Woeser, who is at the forefront of this movement, speaking, blogging and constantly challenging Chinese authorities, fighting hackers, arrests and detention. She remains unemployed, her blogs shut down, and her movements restricted but yet she has become one of Chinas greatest woman writers. Our panelists today will speak of her life in context with this new movement of Tibetan literary elites and the struggles that they have to overcome everyday.
friends-of-tibet. org . nz(take out the spaces)says 175,000 Tibetans are in exile (and increasing yearly with refugees still escaping Tibet after 50 years of Chinese occupation of Tibet)But the chinese communist party invaded Tibet more than 59 years ago so the 175,000 might also be an understatement.
