DHARAMSHALA 22 Sept: Canadian outdoor brand Arc’teryx, owned by Chinese company Anta and renowned Chinese pyrotechnic artist Cai Guo-Qiang issued public apologies on Sunday after facing fierce backlash for staging a high altitude fireworks display at over 5,500 meters in Shigatse, occupied Tibet, with environmentalists and rights groups condemning the spectacle as reckless destruction of one of the world’s most climate sensitive ecosystems.
