DHARAMSHALA: A fresh row erupted after the Chinese government again referred to Tibet as 'Xizang' during its earthquake relief efforts in the region.
The move drew sharp criticism from the Tibetan government-in-exile.
Sikyong (president) of Tibetan government-in-exile Penpa Tsering appealed to the international community not to fall into the trap of Chinese 'propaganda' of using Chinese names for Tibetan places and said, "It not only has implications of renaming a place, but in terms of the larger geo-strategic importance of what Tibet consists of as well."
