How Repressive Is the Chinese Government in Tibet?
UCLA Asia Institute, University of California at UCLA, Los Angeles, CA, USA
Self-description: "Barry Sautman, Associate Professor of Social Science at the Hong Kong University of Science and Technology, spoke at UCLA December 2 [2002 - ed.] to defend the thesis that claims of cultural repression against Tibetans by the Han Chinese are greatly exaggerated by Tibetan exiles in India and by the liberal Western press. His talk was met with some skepticism from discussant Nancy Levine (Anthropology, UCLA) and by some members of the audience, but he presented a wide range of data [such as those from the Xinhua news agency - ed.] to support his view."
