Visit to Tibetan Village and Tibet University on 25 August

On the last day in Lhasa, we visited a Tibetan village and Tibet
University.

It was a pretty village, no doubt frequented by foreign visitors.  The
village head readily admitted that the families received huge subsidies
from the government.  On the roof top, I saw a satellite dish donated in
March this year from the Communist Party  and the State Council, part of
the stimulus package.

I was told that half the land owned by the villages was rented out to Han
farmers from Sichuan who grew fruits and vegetables in greenhouses.

Tibet University has a new campus built only a few years ago.  It has a few
thousand students.  There are special faculties for Tibetology, high
altitude medicine and traditional Tibetan medicine.  I was greeted by both
the Rector and the Party Secretary who apologized for arriving a little
late because he had to be present at the Lhasa half-marathon that morning.
The faculty is two-thirds Tibetan.  Because of the emphasis on education,
Tibetan students are given high school and university places in all the
other provinces of China.
