QUOTE BEIJING — China sent additional troops into restive areas and made more arrests in the Tibetan capital Lhasa in an effort to suppress anti-government protests even as the Dalai Lama offered face-to-face negotiations with Chinese leaders. Government officials acknowledged for the first time that the sometimes violent protests against Chinese rule of Tibet have spread to Tibetan communities in other provinces after sweeping through Lhasa last week. Hundreds of paramilitary police aboard at least 80 trucks traveled along the main road winding through the mountains into southeastern Tibet. Others set up camp and patrolled in riot gear, helmets and, for a few, rifles in the area above Tiger Leaping Gorge, a tourist attraction that usually sees little unrest. Such scenes were repeated across far-flung towns and villages in Tibetan areas of adjacent provinces to reassert control as sporadic demonstrations continued to flare. Foreigners were barred from traveling there and tour groups were banned from Tibet, isolating a region about four times the size of France. The protests against Chinese rule started peacefully in Tibet's capital, Lhasa, early last week, but erupted into riots last Friday, drawing a harsh response from Chinese authorities. Authorities say 325 people were injured and 16 people died. I wonder if this is something that could get worse... anyone up on chinese world affairs? |

China has steralized native Tibetian and been cruel. Its cause there is oil in that desert.

Well, the only way I see to fix this situation is to send our troops in to liberate Tibet and introduce democracy.
We'll be in and out in like... a week. |

I think China should be banned from hosting the Olympics. That should get the message across.
And if you think the Chinese give one flying fuck about human rights you're fooling yourself. -------------------- "Ah, y'know it's funny, these people they go to sleep, they think everything's fine, everything's good. They wake up the next day and they're on fire."

The incorporation of Tibet under China was under the headline of "Tibetan liberation", sometimes when I think about it, it sounds awfully similar to that of "Iraqi Freedom" -------------------- I go to the maize and blue

I agree with pysex. Keep them from hosting the Olympics.

I think that we give more self control to Iraq then China does to Tibet. But to the team goes the propaganda.
