Xizang - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia Xizang (西藏) is the Chinese name for either historic Tibet or the Tibet Autonomous Region. "Xizang" is a phonetic transcription derived from Tsang, the western part of Ü-Tsang. The character 藏 (zàng) has been used in transcriptions referring to Tsang as early as the Ming Dynasty, if not earlier, though the modern term "Xizang" was devised in the 18th century. en.wikipedia.org /wiki/Xizang   (275 words)

China's claim to Tibet A boddhisattva is worshiped as a deity in Mahayana Buddhism. While the Dalai Lama would become traditional leader of Xizang (Tibet), spiritual supremacy would reside with the chief abbot of the influential Dashi Lumpo monastery near Zhikatse, 200 kilometers southwest of Lhasa, who would be known as the Dashi or Panchen Lama, a reincarnation of Amitabha, the Buddha of Light. On April 27, 1906, China, represented by the dying Qing court, as suzerain of Xizang, known in the West as Tibet, would agree to the terms imposed by Britain not to permit third countries to send representatives, receive transportation or mining concessions, or occupy, purchase or lease territories in Tibet without British permission. www.marxmail.org /archives/january99/tibet.htm   (1850 words)

China - Minorities In Xizang, Xinjiang, and Nei Monggol autonomous regions, minorities occupy large frontier areas; many are traditionally nomadic and engage primarily in agriculture or pastoral pursuits. According to the 1982 census, approximately 95 percent of Xizang's civilian population of 1.9 million are Tibetan (Zang nationality). The number of Tibetan cadres as a percentage of all cadres in Xizang increased from 50 percent in 1979 to 62 percent in 1985. countrystudies.us /china/36.htm   (1595 words)

Biodiversity of the Hengduan Mountains Within China, the area centered around western Sichuan, eastern Xizang (Tibet), and northern Yunnan is particularly diverse, containing about half of all the plant species in China, and is especially rich in endemic species (Wilson, 1992) and genera (Ying et al., 1993). In spite of these figures, few specimens of Xizang bryophytes are represented in herbaria outside of China and new collections are needed to better understand the evolution and migration of the flora. He later collected in western Sichuan and throughout eastern Xizang with Professor Hong De-yuan of the Institute of Botany, Beijing, in the 1970s, in connection with a major, multidisciplinary survey of Xizang by the Chinese Academy of Sciences. maen.huh.harvard.edu:8080 /china/project_description   (11391 words)

International Campaign for Tibet: Tibet News: ICT Chinese Language Journal Analyzes Democracy in the Tibetan Community The third issue of "Liaowang Xizang," ICT's Chinese language journal on Tibet, focuses on the role of democracy in the Tibetan experience, both in Tibet and in exile. However, Tibetans in Tibet did not have a very positive introduction to democracy after the Chinese arrival, which had less to do with the ideology than with the way democracy was interpreted by Chinese officials: the "Democratic Reforms" in Tibet resulted in the dismantling of the traditional Tibetan social, political and religious structures. This issue of Liaowang Xizang also carries an analysis of the state of democracy in Tibet and in exile, including a commentary by a journalist of the Chinese-language service of Voice of America, who visited the Tibetan community in India. www.savetibet.org /news/pressreleases/pressrelease.php?id=144   (323 words)
