Tension in Asia Provokes Response from Ithacans

This is the second of a two-part series examining how local Tibetans are responding to the violence between China and Tibet.

A quick Google search for “Free Tibet” generates more than 8 million results. How some Chinese and Tibetans interpret this catchphrase, however, may be fundamentally different as Tibet refers to completely different border outlines for Chinese and Tibetans.

“This is a major confusion,” said Palden Oshoe, president of the Tibetan Association of Ithaca.

Ithaca is home to a small yet active community of about 50 Tibetans, and Cornell hosts more than 700 students and academic staff members from China.
