THE opening this month of the final segment of world’s highest railway, from Beijing to Lhasa, Tibet, is a staggering engineering achievement and a testimony to the developing greatness of China. But it is also the most serious threat by the Chinese yet to the survival of Tibet’s unique religious, cultural and linguistic identity. In the words of a well-known Tibetan religious teacher who died after many years in a Chinese prison, the railway heralds “a time of emergency and darkness” for Tibet. What China is doing to its environment and to its topography is a bit frightening. They just opened the largest dam in the world........its so huge superlatives don't begin to address its great size. And when we criticize, their response is we did the same thing to tame this country.
