The absolutism of China's stance has stifled debate; but Tibetan culture produces its own leadership, writes George FitzHerbert, surveying several new books about the Tibetan question. FitzHerbert considers the role of foreign writers in creating our most controversial Shangri-La, and sends a warning note to China: "The Chinese would do well to recognize that in Tibet they do not bestow power, they can only acknowledge it".
