I’ve no expertise in this at all. What I do notice is that China’s internet controls must be much more effective than Burma’s.

An Australian news report, with an Economist reporter there on the spot:

I suppose that Tibet in the days of Richard Halliburton was, well, feudal… But progress isn’t necessarily linear, and I’m not sure that China’s Tibetan policy represents it. AP

Protests against Chinese rule of Tibet were reported in neighboring Sichuan and Qinghai provinces and also in western Gansu province. All are home to sizable Tibetan populations.

Tibet was effectively independent for decades before Chinese communist troops entered in 1950. The latest unrest began March 10 on the anniversary of a 1959 uprising against Chinese rule of Tibet.

The protests are an embarrassment for China, coming just weeks before the Beijing Summer Olympics ceremonies kick off with the torch relay, which is set to pass through Tibet.

I just hope none of this is funded by the Bush administration as an opening shot in the war the the PNAC types want to have with China after they’ve cleaned up Iran. That would be bad.
