Yak Tax: Tensions between China and Tibet have escalated over alleged yak exploitation. Since 1959 the Chinese Government has been taking millions of yaks in taxes from Tibetans. Although a yak currently fetches over 1,000 Chinese yuan ($120), as tax they are only valued at 50 yuan ($6). Recently, China has flooded Western markets with low-cost, allegedly yak-leather shoes. China is reported to have labelled the leather as coming from a fictitious animal species from a remote region of China. Tibetan locals say that the increased slaughter of the animals is threatening the survival of the Tibetan yak population.
