"Attack on soldiers stirs terrorism fears" by Los Angeles Times | March 21, 2009
BEIJING - A Chinese soldier on guard duty outside an army camp in central China was shot to death and another soldier wounded in a bold attack that authorities say they are investigating as a possible act of terrorism. The shooting was especially shocking for Chinese officials because it took place in downtown Chongqing, a city of 5 million people.
During the attack Thursday night, the assailants stole the submachine gun of the soldier. The last attacks of this type occurred in August before the start of the Olympic Games when attackers in far western China rammed a truck and threw grenades into a group of policemen jogging outside their station.
Oh, STINK!!! You smell a rat, readers? I do.
That attack was blamed on ethnic Uighur separatists.
And who was running them, huh?

"China detains protesters after police station attack; Tibet tension on rise amid anniversaries" by David Barboza, New York Times | March 23, 2009
SHANGHAI, China - China said six people were arrested and 89 others were detained after hundreds of people attacked a police station in a Tibetan region of northwest China on Saturday, according to the state-controlled news media.
I thought those dudes were nonviolent?
The authorities, who said they had restored order in the region, said the attack involved nearly 100 monks from the Ragya Monastery in the Tibetan Autonomous Prefecture of Golog in Qinghai province.
CIA monks.
The police said the unrest broke out Saturday after rumors spread in the region about a man being investigated by the police and then disappearing after he broke Chinese law by advocating Tibetan independence. The riot was the latest and biggest skirmish this month between ethnic Tibetans and Chinese authorities and comes as China's Tibetan region faces growing tensions amid a series of historically delicate anniversaries.
And for the most part, the operational cover by the MSM has been provided as the Globe has reported little of this to me/us, readers.
China has sent thousands of troops to Tibetan regions in the northwest part of the country to guard against a repeat of the anti-Chinese riots that occurred last March, when Tibetans rioted in Lhasa, the Tibetan capital, killing some Han Chinese.
Look at how the MSM short shrift the "enemy" dead as they do the Muslim and Arab deaths!
The violence on Saturday began after a man accused of supporting Tibetan independence escaped from police custody and went missing, the official Xinhua News Agency said. It cited authorities as saying the man fled from the Ragya police station after asking to go to the washroom, prompting a manhunt. It cited a witness as saying he was seen swimming in the Yellow River.
A former resident of the area who now lives in Dharmsala, India, said the protesters were angry because they believed the man, a 28-year-old monk named Tashi Sangpo, jumped in the river to commit suicide after fleeing.
"When Tashi was being interrogated by the officials, he asked their permission to go to the toilet. He then went out and jumped into the Yellow River," the source said on condition of anonymity, citing fear of reprisals against his family still living in China. "The dead body is yet to be found."
The exile, who said he received the information from people in Ragya, said 500 monks from the monastery protested outside the local administration office and the group swelled to about 2,000 as others from the village joined.
He said Tashi Sangpo was being investigated by police because he unfurled a Tibetan flag on the roof of the monastery on March 10, the anniversary of the start of a 1959 abortive Tibetan revolt against Chinese rule, and distributed pamphlets on the street urging unified protests against Chinese rule. The Tibetan flag is banned in China.
It was difficult to independently verify the account because government departments could not be reached yesterday. Communication is also spotty in the areas and residents usually will not talk for fear of official retaliation.
Here in AmeriKa, our agenda-pushing, war-promoting papers just selectively edit and censor things. That's why our lying but "free jewspress" is better than state-controlled commies.
Much of the region is closed to journalists and independent observers, making it difficult to verify the government reports.
Second time they said that.
China's Tibetan region consists largely of Tibet and several bordering provinces that have large Tibetan populations. While China is celebrating the 50th anniversary of what it calls the liberation of Tibet from serfdom this March, many Tibetans are calling for independence and marking the date when China took control over the region and forced its spiritual leader, the Dalai Lama, to flee into exile in India.
I know it is painful, readers; however, the guy is a CIA asset. That explains why the college loved the guy, and the overwhelmingly positive coverage that guy gets in the AmeriKan MSM!
Much of the region is closed to journalists and independent observers, making it difficult to verify the government reports.
That the THIRD TIME they hammered that home to you, readers?
Several journalists who have entered the region have been detained or forced to leave.
Not to worried about the ones USrael detain and tortures, are you, joospress?
In recent weeks, China has released a series of papers on how its rule has created a safer and more prosperous Tibetan region. Beijing has also repeatedly attacked the Dalai Lama as advocating independence.
Sort of like what the U.S. and the AmeriKan MSM has been doing over the occupation of Iraq, huh?
But in Tibetan regions, where there remains a great deal of support for the Dalai Lama, there are frequent reports of small uprisings.

And, unfortunately, YOU KNOW WHY NOW and WHY those incidents are kept MOSTLY HIDDEN from us -- until a war-promoting agenda push is needed, then voila!!!!
"Barring of Dalai Lama raises ire; South Africa says China ties at stake" by Donna Bryson, Associated Press | March 24, 2009
Gees, now they are dragging the South Africans into it?
Pfffft!
JOHANNESBURG - South Africa barred the Dalai Lama from a peace conference in Johannesburg this week, hoping to keep good relations with trading partner China but instead generating a storm of criticism.
Friday's peace conference was organized by South African soccer officials to highlight the first World Cup to be held in Africa, which South Africa will host in 2010. But because the Dalai Lama isn't being allowed to attend, it is now being boycotted by fellow Nobel Peace prize winners retired Cape Town Archbishop Desmond Tutu and former president F.W. de Klerk as well as members of the Nobel Committee.
Why must all the people I've looked up to be poisoned?
I guess he wouldn't be in the paper if he wasn't some sort of agent or controlled opposition. When did you ever see Alex Jones (or any 9/11 Truthers) get a name reference or get turned to for a quote? Never happens. If you don't appear in the papers, there's a reason for that, too!
"It is disappointing that South Africa, which has received so much solidarity from the world, doesn't want to give that solidarity to others," Nobel Institute Director Geir Lundestad told the Associated Press in Oslo, alluding to the decades-long fight against apartheid.
You seen Gaza and Palestine lately, chump? Uh-huh, that's what I thought.
Nobel laureates, Hollywood celebrities, and other dignitaries are coming to discuss issues ranging from combating racism to how sports can unite people and nations.
What's the CARBON FOOTPRINT on that BULLSHIT SESSION, huh?
But Thabo Masebe, spokesman for President Kgalema Motlanthe, said a high-profile visit by the Tibetan spiritual leader would have distracted from the conference's focus. "South Africa would have been the source of negative publicity about China," he said yesterday. "We do value our relationship with China."
South Africa is China's largest trading partner on a continent in which China is heavily and increasingly involved. Tamu Matose, a spokeswoman for Tutu, told the AP that Tutu would not attend "because of the Dalai Lama issue." Tutu was quoted Sunday as calling the barring "disgraceful."
.... Beijing, an ally when South Africa's now-governing African National Congress was a liberation movement, and Pretoria have diplomatic ties stretching back a decade and an economic relationship based on trade as well as aid.
Yeah, but you should cut loose friends who stayed by you and come over to the guys who funded your attackers and kept them in control, you stoo-pid South Africans!!!
I don't know if the agenda-pushing, war-promoting paper could be any more racist.
