Today’s Tibet Business Daily declares that due to heavy snowfall, the Namtso Lake scenic area is closed. Meanwhile in Lhasa, a test run of a newly refurbished canal ended up flooding city streets because autumn leaves had not been cleared from the waterway.
Inside, the newspaper continues a feature it has been running since October 11 on the 60th anniversary of the Liberation of Qamdo. The battle, fought in 1950 over a Tibetan border town, set the stage for the Seventeen Point Agreement the following year.
Though the Tibet Business Daily does not refer to the campaign as the “peaceful liberation” of Qamdo (as Xinhua’s English-language reporting does), it notes in the title of today’s installment that “The Battle of Qamdo Opened the Door to the Peaceful Liberation of Tibet.”
