Crackdown in Tibet

- March 18, 2008

Chinese troops are pouring into Lhasa, the Tibetan capital, and an ultimatum for instigators of last week's riots to surrender to Chinese authorities has been issued. Meanwhile, protests against Chinese rule in Tibet have spread to other provinces bordering the Himalayan region.

"The Chinese government will unwaveringly protect national sovereignty and territorial integrity," spokesman Liu Jianchao said at a news conference yesterday in Beijing.

What do you think about the Chinese response to anti-government protests in Tibet? Do you think the violence will affect Beijing as the host of the Olympics this summer?
