The Network’s latest report “Tibet Not X̶i̶z̶a̶n̶g̶” examines the CCP regime’s renaming of “Tibet”. A textbook neo-colonial ploy: colonisation by rejecting something by insinuating it as “western” and “colonial”.
Here’s an excerpt from the report:
“The report examines China’s claim that by promoting Xizang over “Tibet”, a Western, colonial name is rejected, and more accurate terminology is being used. In fact, as this report shows, the name Tibet, including variations in spelling and pronunciation, can be found at least as far back as the 14th century and has long been used and accepted by Tibetans as the non-Tibetan language name for their country, which they call བོོད, usually transcribed in the Roman alphabet as “Bod”, “Bhod” or “Bo”. Xizang, on the other hand, is a term of Chinese origin, introduced centuries later and which refers to only half of historic Tibet, the Tibet Autonomous Region (TAR), carved out by China in the 1960s.”
