The document discusses Tibet and the cultural genocide occurring there. It provides the Tibetan flag from 1912 to 1950 and locations of Tibet within China. It notes that Chinese mainstream media only provides tourist information from 2008 and provides alternative media sources like Al Jazeera, BBC, CNN, Associated Press, and personal blogs that cover Tibetan struggles and the March 2008 riots in Tibet. It asks why we should care about what is happening in Tibet.
