Report Says China Exploits Tibet’s Fragile Environment for Profit

A report in Asian Lite has accused China of exploiting fragile ecosystems and silencing local voices in regions such as Tibet, despite presenting itself as a responsible global stakeholder. Writer Sakariya Kareem cited the “Rising Dragon” fireworks show in Shigatse as an example of environmental neglect in one of the world’s most delicate high-altitude regions. Experts warned the display left toxic debris in the area. The report said China’s hydropower and infrastructure projects on the Tibetan Plateau risk seismic and ecological damage, exposing Beijing’s contradiction between climate pledges and domestic practices.
