This 4-minute video segment looks at the changing lives of the Tibetan nomadic people living on the Qinghai plateau. Their way of life has been untouched for centuries. But Chinese authorities are relocating the nomads into concrete dwellings. By 2010, 80 percent of the nomads are to be moved into these isolated townships, according to Chinese state media. This video depicts some gruesome imagery of live in these state-created dwellings. An old lady is shown, picking flesh off of a dead yak, to scrounge for a meal.
