Tibet culture being well preserved: US editor

WASHINGTON: The Chinese government has made impressive efforts to bring Tibet into the modern world while preserving its traditional culture, a US journalist said on Sunday.

David Jones, interim managing editor of the Washington Times, said in an e-mail interview with the Xinhua News Agency that during his trip to Tibet in September, he saw that much had been done to repair temples and build museums.

Tibetan song and dance has also been revitalized as part of the government's efforts to protect Tibetan culture, he said.
