Another aspect about the Chinese influence in Tibet:

quote:
Tibetan activists say that by allowing the torch to run over Everest, the International Olympic Committee endorses China’s brutal rule, with tens of thousands killed or sent to labour camps. Outside the Potala Palace, former winter residence of the Dalai Lama, aBuddhist monk chases away another group of Chinese tourists. ‘We cannot stop them coming here, it has become their home more than ours,’ he says. ‘With the train thousands come every day. They want to take our photographs, walk through our sacred temples. Some offer us money for our robes. We have become nothing more than a sideshow.’
