China Bans Foreign Travelers From Tibet

Click on a label to read posts from that part of the world.

What a disturbingly pathetic country China is that it bans foreign travel to a country that technically it has no jurisdiction over. The government just bans anything they feel like and if you don't like it, you don't have to say anything, someone will show up in the middle of the night and you will vanish. I hope someday the billion or so sheep that live there realize they've had enough and mount such a gigantic protest that the politicians have no choice but to change.

"Officially," Tibet is part of China, no matter how loudly the Tibetan independence folks screech to the contrary (interesting fact: the Dalai Lama hasn't supported Tibetan independence for several years now).

Further, your quip about the Chinese simply being "a billion or so sheep" goes to show just how ignorant you are about what China is really like. Care to look up a few simple statistics about the daily rate of political protest in China? It would make the Vietnam War protests over here look like little more than a weekend picket session.

As for a massive grassroots political protest that overthrows the central gov't, you do know that that very succinctly describes how the Communist Party came to power, right? For someone so confident in his political commentary, I sure hope you did.
