Was wondering where the data for #Tibet was in this #China #power #climate update from Greenpeace East Asia
And then I realized to my shock and horror, that they were using the #CCP name, Xizang, in English. This is in line with the recent strong push by the Chinese government to eliminate the use of the term Tibet, in English.
A new, embarrassing low & I have to wonder what @greenpeace thinks of this.
To anyone who's been following human rights issues in #Tibet or the #Uyghur regions, or Chinese links to illegal #rareearth mining in #Laos & #Myanmar (including de-facto support for the ruthless #junta), the fact that #China derailed the inclusion of mining and critical minerals in the #COP30 #JustTransition Work Program is no surprise.
In the latest issue of @codastory newsletter, I explore this, and more.
