Don't wipe Tibet off the map
Your support helps us to tell the story
From reproductive rights to climate change to Big Tech, The Independent is on the ground when the story is developing. Whether it's investigating the financials of Elon Musk's pro-Trump PAC or producing our latest documentary, 'The A Word', which shines a light on the American women fighting for reproductive rights, we know how important it is to parse out the facts from the messaging.
At such a critical moment in US history, we need reporters on the ground. Your donation allows us to keep sending journalists to speak to both sides of the story.
The Independent is trusted by Americans across the entire political spectrum. And unlike many other quality news outlets, we choose not to lock Americans out of our reporting and analysis with paywalls. We believe quality journalism should be available to everyone, paid for by those who can afford it.
Your support makes all the difference.TIBET is not marked on your map showing the sources of the Yangtse and the Mekong rivers (in Tibet), only China ("Explorers hail 1990s as 'golden age of discovery' ", 30 April). It is necessary to read the accompanying article in order to know that the location is in fact Tibet.
As a teacher, I have been appalled that some school atlases no longer show Tibet. In light of the huge efforts by the Dalai Lama to get the West to support the plight of Tibet, it is shocking to see Western map- makers erasing it, thus helping the Chinese to wipe it out of existence.
