With Beijing in the world spotlight for the Olympic games, China is leaving no stone unturned to ensure things run smoothly.

  • Authorities have in the past taken monks away from restive areas for "re-education", which activist groups say means they have gone to military camps or prison to undergo political education classes.

    ICT confirmed that a re-education campaign was taking place at Kirti, and added that security forces had arrested and taken away more than 300 monks from the monastery on Thursday evening.

  • Many Tibetans resent Chinese rule, accusing the government of trying to dilute their culture and citing concern about what they view as increasing domination by China's majority Han ethnic group.

    That tension erupted in violent demonstrations in March 2008 in Tibet's capital Lhasa, which then spread into neighbouring Tibetan areas of China, including Kirti.

    The best thing to do is to mark CCP garbage as spam. My best comments get marked as spam all the time.

  • @ UNFFT

    My channel was cloned by a CCP supporter. If you put the mouse over the channel name that writes the rubbish comments you can see the CCP supporter spelt it FaiunGongisAmazing. I can remember 3 CCP clones so far. And there were other clones that I can't remember very well that only lasted a short time
