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.

  • PROOF of why Tibet is NOT part of China

    tibetjustice. org/materials/treaties/index.h­tml (remove spaces)

    shows some of the countries who recognised Tibet as a country from 822 to 1918.

    See the 17 point agreement from 1951

    friends-of-tibet. org. nz/17-point-agreement.html (remove spaces)

    The Tibetan Autonomous Region is Tibetan, NOT Chinese Tibetan. For other parts of Tibet go down and Tibetan will appear (see wiki)

    Who recognises Tibet from the Sino-Tibetan Treaty 822 to 2009 ??

    China does !

  • Long live tibetan Chinese and all ethnic

    Chinese:-)

  • Woeser tells of What is really going on in Tibet

  • Woeser's words will forever ring true in hearts of those who seek TRUTH

  • 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.

  • I say listen to the Tibetans because they will know what is happening in Tibet.

    Tibetans are the experts on Tibet. Please watch

    Tibetan Refugee Part Two (and Part Three and Four)

  • Woeser is a brave lady, much appreication for her work and courage.

  • brava woeser! free tibet free china

  • Woeser is my heroine.

    May the words flow freely from her pen.

    Long Live His Holiness the Dalai Lama.

    Bhod Rangzen.

  • Woeser is to Tibet and China's brutal occupation what Anna Ahkmatova was to Stalin's Russia.

    Bod rangzen!
