This report sheds some light on the clash between Tibetans and Hui Muslim Chinese. The reporter who by a strange miracle happens to be the only officially permitted media inside Tibet by the Beijing authorities has not explained why there exist a strong resentment for the Tibetans against the Hui Muslim. In Central Tibet before Chinese invaded Tibet in 1959, there were no Hui Muslims in Tibet. The only Hui Muslims if at all settled in any Tibetan area were found in the border regions of Gansu and Qinghai. But in the last few decades we have seen a large influx of Hui Chinese moving into TAR,and this has taken place as a part of the Beijing's greater design of marginalizing Tibetans and creating ethnic tension and keep a iron grip on the region. It looks like the fruit of this draconian scheme is finally getting paid.

By the way the Tibetans are not the only people who are terribly affected by this influx of Hui-Han migration. The other minorities including Uighurs in East Turkistan(Xinjiang), Mongolians and Manchurian are fighting their own battles against this forced and planned migration of Hui-Han Chinese by Beijing. Uighurs are muslims but they clearly identify Hui Chinese as separate as they have mostly got integrated with Han Chinese.

Tibetans have for centuries lived harmoniously with Tibetan Muslim who were allowed their own space of worship. Infact many of them fled Tibet and are currently living in India as Tibetan muslim refugees (what an irony right).

I am concerned about the Tibetans who are now arrested that counts to hundreds and what kind of treatment they would be subjected to. Its must be happening only China where you get rounded up and arrested for just raising some slogans. After all isn't that what really happened on the first day when the monks peacefully marched in the street. The carnage and rioting followed after the monks were treated harshly and violently on the first day of protest,Which the only offically allowed reporter in Tibet did not see.

Here is what I saw on the wall somewhere:

In my country,

Torture Hidden,

Venture forbidden.

These lines are definitely voices of Tibetans and all the suppressed people in Tibet and China.

Hi, I am a Chinese living in Beijng now. My friend and I are highly concerned about what is happening in Lhasa. Chinese people love peace and unity. I don't think the riot can resolve anything, but do harm to the ordinary people in Tebet. I feel so sorry. As far as I know, minority group in China enjoy many special favorable policies that the han majority can't enjoy. Culture diversity is critical to every country.
