A report alleges that China's development initiatives in Tibet, including infrastructure projects like the Qinghai-Tibet Railway and extensive road networks, are designed to facilitate resource extraction and population control, rather than genuine progress. The article claims these projects primarily benefit Han-owned companies and China's coastal regions, marginalizing local Tibetans and threatening their cultural survival. It highlights hydropower development, such as the Brahmaputra River dam, as an example of this exploitative model, displacing villages to supply electricity to mainland China.
