Some media like to overblow stuff like this. I guess it's the norm these days.

Hmmmmmmmmm.

Blogs are not available. Would have been interesting to see but at the moment we can't assume anything. There is obviously a problem with China's continued occupation of Tibet (yes, yes, I know we are in Iraq but I don't agree with that either) but the Chinese government just don't want to listen.

These are the correct links, but I can't see any videos there except adverts.

The proper clips show after the advert.

So I've got to watch an advert first? Jeez.

Uh huh, it's only 8 seconds anyway.

Looks like a case of very poor reporting, which as Alpha says happens a lot (which is why I treat all media stories with a pinch of salt). But none of this changes the fact that there are problems in Tibet. I presume the OP is not trying to say it is all roses there.

Yeah, but I didn't know that. If you click the video and get an ad for a film then it is very confusing. I just assume that that's what it is and switch it off. There is no indication that another video follows it. Very poor use of the medium IMO.
