S4-E4 - The Interesting Tale of When the Dalai Lama’s Brother Came to Taiwan

Gyalo Thondup རྒྱལ་ལོ་དོན་འགྲུབ has had a very interesting
life. Born in 1927, he’s the second-eldest brother of the current
(and 14th) Dalai Lama. Brother Thondup has long been an
unofficial envoy for the Tibetan leader-in-exile, and
in May 1950, Gyalo Thondup became the first “officially
acknowledged” Tibetan to visit Taiwan since 1949. What was he
doing here? Why Taiwan? What were then-president
CKS's feelings about Tibet? Find out in this week’s Formosa
Files episode.
