Nepal scraps Tibet-focused event following Chinese pressure
Organizers announced that a Tibetan studies conference, originally set for August 23-29 at Kathmandu University, has been cancelled following requests from government authorities. While the Nepalese government claimed it did not mandate the cancellation and suggested the organizers opted for a virtual format, sources told The Kathmandu Post that officials stepped in after Beijing expressed objections.
