Chinese Communist Police on patrol in Tibetan community following attacks on police and other Communist Government agents by Buddhist monks.

Armed Communist police prowled the tranquil streets of a Tibetan town in northwest China on Monday, after an anti-government act of resistance. The resistance to Communist oppression was sparked by the suicide of a Buddhist monk ,Tashi Sangpo, 28, who was being 'questioned' in a local police station.

A group of hundreds including monks carried out an attack Saturday on Ragya police station, according to the official Communist Xinhua News Agency.

The Communist government, is eager to prevent a repeat of the anti-Communist resistance that shook Lhasa in March last year and so have been clamping down severely on the most minor act of resistance.

This is why they arrested and interrogated Tashi Sangpo for allegedly unfurling a banned Tibetan flag on the roof of his monastery on March 10. He jumped into a river to commit suicide during his ordeal with the Communist police. His body has not been recovered.

The Dalai Lama has said that Communist restrictions on Tibet's religious practices have caused "cultural genocide."

The Chinese Communists have chosen a boy, Gyaltsen Norbu, as the reincarnation of the Panchen Lama and this boy has urged Tibetans to support the Communist Party of China in Monday's People's Daily newspaper. The original boy called Gendun Choekyi Nyima who was chosen as the reincarnation of the Panchen Lama by the Dalai Lama was disappeared along with his family before the Communists presented their boy.

From Haiti to Tibet, China's role in suppressing democracy

by HIP - HIP

HIP- Port au Prince - As Chinese riot police clash with Tibetan protesters over that country's independence, it calls into question the role of over 1000 members of China’s People’s Armed Police or PAP who have served in Haiti. Although the PAP is often referred to by the United Nations as a police force in Haiti, most experts call it a military force because it is an integral part of China's People’s Liberation Army.

The Chinese contingent, serving in Haiti since the ouster of the democratically-elected president Jean-Bertrand Aristide in 2004, has also been the target of controversy. Many Haitians condemned their presence as representing the hypocrisy of the UN mission in their country calling for the restoration of democracy. One protester commented in direct reference to Chinese and Jordanian involvement in Haiti in 2004, "We know there are many countries that are part of the UN mission that not democratic themselves. How can they come here and pretend to teach us about democracy when they don't allow free elections in their own countries."
