BEIJING (AP) - China will pour billions of dollars into an airport, power plants, roads and education to help raise the standard of living of Tibetans over the next three years, state media said Tuesday.
Beijing has been aggressively developing Tibet for more than a decade in an effort to improve livelihoods and win popular support in a region that is chronically impoverished and stubbornly resistant to Chinese rule.
Over the next three years, the government will spend more than $12.9 billion on 180 projects in Tibet, the official Xinhua News Agency reported.
