"The Han are inseparable from ethnic minorities; ethnic minorities are inseparable from the Han; ethnic minorities are inseparable from each other - CCP Xiahe Organization Department" If you follow our Flickr feed, you know one of my side pursuits out here is recording modern propaganda. This is tangential to the goals of this site, but seriously, wow, I had to show this to the world. It was taken in Xiahe (known in Tibetan as Labrang), the site of the most pilgrimized Tibetan monastery outside of Tibet. The southern half of town is old and Tibetan, and the northern half is modern Han/Hui. The old side is being torn down bit by bit to make way for new development, and the monastery itself is being tapped for tourism.
