A: These accusations are entirely groundless. The Chinese government has never carried out nuclear testing or Dumped nuclear waste in Tibet. The government of Tibet Autonomous Region has always attached great importance to the state policy of environmental protection and rational exploitation and use of natural resources, and has, in recent years, promulgated a series of local laws and administrative regulations for this purpose. The autonomous region's Environmental Protection Committee was founded in 1990, and has adopted numerous measures to protect forest as well as being the motivating force behind tree-planting projects. Since the 1960s, Tibet Autonomous Region has planted a total of 70 million trees and closed about 140,000 hectares of hillsides to livestock grazing and fuel gathering to facilitate afforestation every year. The local government also pays great attention to the cultivation of farmland and pasture, and to water conservancy projects. It has constructed more than 13,000 irrigation canals and over 5,200 reservoirs of different sizes, with a total storage capacity of over 270 million cubic meters. There is now a total of 202,000 hectares of irrigated grassland. Since the 1970s, Tibet has increased its financial input for the protection of wildlife and plant resources. The region now has 13 nature reserves, accounting for 26.5 percent of the total area of Tibet Autonomous Region.

Pollution from industry and other sources are minimal in Tibet, and there has never been any kind of accident resulting in environmental pollution. Tibet has no acid rain. According to detailed monitoring and investigation, Tibet's environment has maintained a good condition. The air and water have negligible levels of pollution, and environmental radiation is sin a normal scale. No radiation pollution emanates from man-made factors.
