in Nepal Tenzing and Hillary were the first persons who scaled this peak in
1953. Since then, it has been scaled by several men and women of different
countries.
Paragraph 2
Tibet
Prior to
China’s invasion in 1950, Tibet maintained a unique culture, religion and
language for centuries.
Today, this
culture is under threat from mass Chinese immigration and the strict control of
all expressions of Tibetan culture and national identity.
China boasts of
huge investment in Tibet but its economic development is primarily intended to
cement its hold on Tibet and enhance its ability to exploit Tibet's natural
resources. Economic development has improved conditions for some Tibetans but
overwhelmingly it favours Chinese migrants, continuing to disadvantage Tibetans economically.
Along with
other countries around the world, Tibet has changed greatly over the past 70
years. However, Tibetans continue to work to preserve their culture and resist
oppressive policies on a daily basis.
