The news is out for those who are not Chinese-lingual but English-lingual.
A well-illustrated book about TIBET - past and present, has been released today in China -- in English and Chinese.
And given the din of ignorance, cultural myopia, and disinformation being waged by the biased Western media, complicit with governments from the West..... the release of this bilingual book, about Tibet, in English and Chinese language, is unprecedented.
"The World is now flat." And this means that the playing field is leveling out. Among China's 1.3 billion people, as well as over 35 million ethnic Chinese overseas in the Chinese Diaspora, there is a wealth of talent, brain power, and energy yet to be tapped.
And the "culture" reawaking of China, in the spirit of May 4th, 1919, has been rekindled. Thanks to the West for waking up the Dragon, and insulting Chinese peoples and their civilization.
For those of us who are fluently bilingual, biliterate, if not multilingual, and multiliterate, let's seize the opportunity to expand our hearts and minds, as the forces of globalization sweeps the globe, causing anxiety, much angst, and ignorant hectoring, screaming, and mau-mau.
"Where's Tibet on the map ?" Stay tuned and pick up a copy of this new illustrated book as soon as it is available at Borders, Barnes and Noble, or online via Amazon.com
You will not be dissapointed. And it will at least clear the air from where the Chinese peoples stand on Tibet.
