    Chinese security tightens as Tibet marks new year

    JIUHUANG FIRST VILLAGE, China (AP) — Wednesday marks the Tibetan lunar new year, but as China cracks down on dissent, exiled leaders have called on people not to celebrate.

    Heavy policing in China's Tibetan areas is one reason Tibet's exiled government in India called on Tibetans to simply pray for those living under Chinese rule rather than marking the new year more festively.

    An overseas Tibet lobbying group said Wednesday that tensions have been building in Tibet's capital, Lhasa, with increased security and officials even making calls at individual Tibetan homes.

    The Washington-based International Campaign for Tibet also says hundreds of Tibetans have been detained after returning from India, where they attended teachings last month by the Dalai Lama.

      Anyone with a plain common sense will see how and What China has been and still doing in Tibet is a repeated Colonialism tactics by the oppressors in past human history.

      What is even more sad is how there are Chinese who blindly support their Government knowing the brutal policies Beijing has unleashed upon Tibetans for decades.

      Supporting your Government when it is committing Genocide is NOT PATRIOTIC !
      Using other Countries past genocide to justify ones own current acts of Genocide is nonsense and has no place in today's world.

      I hope the World wakes up from it's Drunkenness of Cheap Chinese products and put an end to the sufferings of the Tibetan people soon because it has gone far too long (since Chinese invasion of Tibet starting in 1949)

        It is like Greek Orthodox Christians, and Roman Catholics celebrating Christmas on different days using different calendars.

      Maoist Han Chinese are building a Gaza-type concentration camp for the remaining Tibetans that have yet to be exterminated....These jack-booted ogres are using the same tactics Japan's army did to Chinese in the 30's...Reverse your hegemony, running dogs!

      Tibet has already been freed for years by China instead of those primitive gruel monks lama made their own tibetan people as their own slave under their feudal serfdom system. More than that, these primitive monks aer a bunch of terrorists, parasites in China's society and should be wiped out

      Maybe they should both pray and read the books of the Dalai Lama. Has the new President-to-be, Xi of China, ever written a book? I doubt it. He is basically illiterate. Tibet should not fear China. China is just a paper tiger.

        Chinese CCP trolls - thank you for giving me so many "no" votes. I love you, too!

        Tibet should not and has no reason to fear China as tibetans ARE chinese. Chinese love Nicholas.

        Tibet has no reason to fear China, because China isn't even close to being what you jerks think it is. They've got more reason to fear the Dalai Lama and his CIA funding. They've got more reason to be afraid of being asked to burst into flames while their "leader" hangs out with celebs in a limo.

      Happy Losar. Free TIBET!
    • Cynicism Is My Umbrella  •  3 mths ago
      Yeah, all those Tibetans need freedom, and thanks to China, they have more of it than they ever got with the CIA's pet holyman. Imagine that. Asking others to burst into flame while sitting in a limo rubbing elbows with hollywood. Wow! That sure is holy!
