Rome (AsiaNews) - Although denied by Beijing, the violent repression of the demonstrators and Tibetan monks is illustrated by a series of particularly violent photos, sent to the West by Tibetan dissidents. These are particularly harsh images, sent from the monastery of Kirti to the Free Tibet Campaign.
The photos were taken last March 16, in the autonomous Tibetan province of Amdo, which currently is part of the northern Chinese province of Sichuan. According to the Free Tibet Campaign, the massacre began after the religious of the monastery of Kirti chanted slogans in favour of "free Tibet" and the Dalai Lama. The monks were joined by 400 Buddhist nuns and the students of the local Tibetan middle school.
The Chinese police, which had been watching the monastery since the beginning of the protests (last March 10), opened fire on the crowd. According to information from the Tibetan government in exile, about 20,000 Tibetans of Sichuan have protested in solidarity with the Tibetan monks. Of the 20 certified victims of the repression, 9 have been identified: among these are young men of 15 and 17 years old.

Bump
but lets keep stocking our shelves with goods made in China and make this regime rich rich rich.
The problem is many goods made in Taiwan also say made in China.
They look so young.
God Bless these poor, brave people, and God Bless Tibet.
It’s worth remembering that the people who perpetrated these vile crimes have the Clintons in their pocket.
Free Tibet!
I heard a Chinese representative state categorically that no one was shot, clearly he's lying. The US should boycott.
You may want to rephrase the way you refer to the President. We get the point.

This is what the dems, media et al want for Taiwan.
Hu Jintao, the communist President of Tibet, yesterday denied vehemently that no shots were fired. They sure look like shots to me..Lying sack of dog poo..
I know many Taiwanese companies have moved manufacturing to China, but I am not aware of any Taiwanese-made products that say “Made in China”.
Do you have any examples?
You may be right. The articles I was thinking of were about Taiwan companies who outsource manufacturing work to the mainland.

But but, they’re capitalists now, right?
The Chinese vision of the future is one in which the corporation is simply an appendage of the communist state.
Even in the U.S.A., corporatism and communism are fast becoming mirror images of each other.
There is no God in either. The structure itself is what is being worshiped.
Why do I keep thinking, when it comes to China, we ain’t seen nothing yet?
In Taiwan, many corporations and business leaders must endorse the “right candidate” in order to continue doing business in China. The Chinese government is essentially using economic blackmail to influence the Taiwanese elections.
I find myself in perfect agreement with all aspects of your comment.
We should arm them with tactical nukes.
