Lhoka

— Meanwhile, Radio Lhasa announced on 18 June that advisory committees in all Tibetan villages had sent memorandums condemning counterrevolutionaries and royalists and pledging full support to Mao. Paradoxically, it was also announced that farmers in the Lhoka area were slow in adapting themselves to mechanized farming despite elaborate manuals being dispatched along [with] the Chinese tractors to the area. It seems Tibetans are quicker in condemning political shakeups than learning technical knowhow.
