China's Tibetological Research Enjoys Unprecedented ProsperityChina's Tibetological research is enjoying "unprecedented prosperity". This is a consensus reached by the participants in the first national symposium on Tibetology which opened on June 13.Chinese Tibetologists have published at least 6,000 Tibetological articles and more than 1,000 academic books. China has over 50 Tibetology research institutes and over 2,000 Tibetologists. Before the founding of the People's Republic in 1949, there were no Tibet Research Institutes. China has trained more than 200 post-graduates and a dozen Ph.D. students in Tibetology in the past decades. Most are young or middle-aged scholars who have not only mastered Chinese and Tibetan, but also English or other foreign languages. China's Tibetan scholars sponsored three international symposiums on Tibetology in 1986, 1991 and 1997. During the third symposium, there were more than 130 researchers from China. They submitted over 100 papers. Experts pointed out that Chinese Tibetologists are important in promoting the research of Tibet and in paving the way for Tibet's reform and progress.
