- Rescuers Search for American Climbers in China
  Posted by Jeff from New York Times
  The search presents an enormous challenge, given that no one is certain which mountains the two intended to climb, or in what sequence. They were climbing in or near the Hengduan Mountains, in a region that extends across eastern Tibet, Sichuan and Yunnan Province. Friends say Mr. Fowler and Ms. Boskoff had planned to tackle several mountains ...

- Tibetan refugees shot by PRC forces, witnesses silenced: video
  Posted by Jeff from BoingBoing
  Chinese diplomats in the Nepalese capital of Kathmandu are tracking down and trying to silence hundreds of Western climbers and Sherpas who witnessed the killing of Tibetan refugees on the Nangpa La mountain pass last week. This ominous development comes as fears grow for the safety of a group of Tibetan children, aged between six and 10, who were marched away after at least two refugees including a nun, were shot dead.

- Beijing pledges 'a fight to the death' with Dalai Lama
  Posted by Billbar from Times Online
  Ethnic Tibetan officials in Lhasa as well as in surrounding rural counties have been required to write criticisms of the Dalai Lama. Senior civil servants must produce 10,000-word essays while those in junior posts need only write 5,000-character condemnations. Even retired officials are not exempt.

- Yaks threaten China's 'miracle' train line
  Posted by Billbar from Guardian UK
  The safety of passengers on the world's highest - and newest - railway is threatened by cracks, yaks and shifting sands, the Chinese government has admitted. Less than a month after the opening of the line across the Himalayas to Tibet, it has become unstable in places because the foundations are sinking into the permafrost, railway ministry spokesman Wang Yongping, told the Beijing News today.

- Railroad to Perdition
  Posted by Billbar from New York Times
  THE opening this month of the final segment of world’s highest railway, from Beijing to Lhasa, Tibet, is a staggering engineering achievement and a testimony to the developing greatness of China. This railway across the roof of the world will result in an expanded Chinese military presence in Tibet, accelerate the already devastating exploitation of its natural resources and increase the number of Chinese migrants, marginalizing the Tibetan people still further. In the capital, Lhasa, Tibetans are already a minority.

Steve Weissman: Tibet and the Games Nations Play

What can I say about it? To criticise it? No. Fact is always simple. It’s man who has some kind of motive that make it complexed. As a chinese, I have experienced a lot for more than 20 years, and I do know something fo the the government’s operation. But as for Tibet, today I do not want talk of my opinion about. I know someone will say back to me that it si because I am a Chinese that to say good of my own county. However, it will be much better than to say evil of other countries without any effort to find what it is. I just want someone to try to get to China and Tibet to understand what has happened there. Just as I said, say after you have know the truth. Do not just fly the bubble from others’ mouth.
