China's secret plot to tame Tibet

[Sweetpea]

Internal Communist party documents have revealed that China is planning a programme of harsh political repression in Tibet despite a public show of moderation to win over world opinion before the Olympic Games next month.
A campaign of “re-education” has been outlined in confidential speeches to meetings of Communist party members by Zhang Qingli, the hardline party secretary of Tibet.
Verbatim texts of the speeches have been kept out of the Chinese media but were printed in the April and May editions of the Xigang Tongxun (Tibet Communications) — a classified publication restricted to party officials. Translations were handed to The Sunday Times in Hong Kong.
Zhang has admitted behind closed doors that the Chinese authorities in Lhasa, the Tibetan capital, face “a tide of encirclement” and that anti-Chinese violence in March “destroyed social stability”. He has warned that “final victory” is far off.

Back on topic, China's behavour in Tibet has always been an obscenity. They are just playing nicey, nicey or as close as they can get to it, until they have conned folk into going to he olympics.
Once that is over Tibet will be locked down so tight I doubt any westerners will get near it.
Climbing parties excepted

I don't actually think their "Nicey" is fooling anyone... but I think you are right in what they are trying...

Who really knows what's going on in Tibet? We're not flooded with refugees are we? China won't let go of Tibet because there are provinces within PRC that would seek independence if Beijing were to relinquish control, and ultimately they fear the country would be broken up, much as has happened to the old USSR. They're certainly not there for Tibet's wealth and natural resources. Tibet does supply Xinjiang Province with one essential though, water from the himalayas.
