An article regarding the fruits of successful modernization of China's Tibet Autonomous Region has been published in an Australian media 'The Australian' earlier in August.

The article entitled 'Beijing's Billions Turning Roof of the World into a Modern Metropolis' expressed vividly the achievements made on the region's development in a number of different aspects.

It comes after several foreign news outlets were invited to visit the region.

The author, Glenda Korporaal, says during their 3-day visit in the capital, Lhasa, thousands of visitors and believers are visiting its historic and important temples each day, and thus Lhasa is becoming increasingly modernized and opening up.

A great number of infrastructures including freeways, traffic lights and a new dam have been successfully constructed.

The city is also quite stable and peaceful with shops in good condition which open onto roads.

The article also mentioned that Beijing and other wealthy provinces in China have been funding Tibet's new infrastructure and providing subsidies in many sectors such as education.

The region's local economy has been growing over 10 percent annually for more than a decade.

Though its traditional energy resources are abundant, Tibet is expanding its industries in new, clean energy.

According to the article, during their visit, the journalists tour a new brewery using German equipment to produce very popular beer of high quality with malt from Australian barley.

The visitors then have dinner with a local official and acknowledge that people used to be poor and illiterate in the region now enjoy much higher living standards and the benefit of education.
