From The AFP:
BEIJING (AFP) — Chinese authorities have imposed a security lockdown in Tibet as the Himalayan region this week marks the 50th anniversary of a failed uprising that sent the Dalai Lama into exile.
Beijing is desperate to prevent protests by monks and nomads after violent unrest last year embarrassed the leadership just ahead of the Olympics in the Chinese capital.
The Dalai Lama has called on his Buddhist followers to remain true to his non-violent cause, while also warning that worsening Chinese repression could provoke further confrontations.

Tibet is a part of China several hundreds of years before United States being established, several hundreds of years before 1860 - English and French armies broke into the Summer Palace (Yuan Ming Yuan in Chinese) and killed thousands of Chinese and filled up the Louvre with Museum with their stolengoods.
What a joke of CNN/BBC/whoever has no basic history sense at all saying something like 50 years…
Go to Tibet by yourself, talk with the Tibetan herdsmen/farmers who don’t have any financial support from western country, you will know what the truth is. Tibetans are different with Tibetan politicians and those Lamas who lost their God-Like powers 50 years ago, who can kill *ANY* slaves without *ANY* kind of judgment or approval. Then you will know the truth is not like what CNN/BBC talking about.
