Tibetan exiles plan book and map project to preserve original place names against China's changes.

The Tibetan Government in Exile, under President Sikyong Penpa Tsering, is planning a project to compile a book and map with original Tibetan county names to counter China's policy of altering place names and to preserve Tibetan heritage. This initiative comes amid tensions over territorial claims and recent developments like China renaming parts of Ladakh and constructing a dam. The project is in its early stages and aims to highlight Tibetan history and resist cartographic changes imposed by China.
