Allowed into Tibet after the 2008 riots that left parts of Lhasa in ruins, the author saw the friction between two cultures:The Party and the Tibetan people. Police and soldiers patrol the towns, while crowds of Han immigrants pour into the region like new frontier settlers seeking their fortunes. China is massively investing to turn Tibet into a modern country. This book discusses clashes between two very different communities who have never fully understood each other. It reveals Tibet as it is and as what it could become.
