In Tibet the first western fast food restaurant is opened

The café is situated in the shopping centre Shenli Shidai in Lhasa, the administrative centre of Tibet autonomous district.

‘The work experience of the different brands of fast food in Tibet proves that the local customers demand the most fried chicken and hamburgers’, as the representatives of the shopping centre note. They add that the restaurant is to attract the foreign tourists.

The first restaurant KFC within the territory of China was opened in 1987. Currently in People’s Republic of China there are nearly five thousand places in more than 1.1 thousand cities.

Tibet has been staying under the authority of China since 1951. The citizens of district hardly have possibility to move abroad and get familiar with the foreign news. From their houses reception dishes are expropriated so as not to allow the penetration of information concerning Dalai Lama. In their turn, the people from Tibet continue fighting for the national self-identification. In particular, one of the forms of this fight is self-immolation which local citizens so as to express the outcry against impairment of their rights.
