4. please dont quote the Maoist brown nosers, it is a demonstration, the police are Rioting, AP has to

chime the Chinese state talking points propaganda to maintain access inside china just to be able to work there and make money.. there is a Chinese state sponsored ongoing Genocide of the Tibetan people and their culture.. nearly 1.25 Tibetans have been murdered, starved to death, worked to death, beaten to death or frozen to death after being evicted from their homes in winter to watch them be bulldozed in Himalayan winter.

they are protesting Genocide.... not rioting for the fun of being shot
or beaten to death. Tibetan women are not allowed to have children without a difficult permit.. if they get pregnant they are subjected to without Chinese permission they are subjected to brutal abortions, one woman reported a Chinese medical person put his hand in her and squeezed her uterus till she bled profusely.. she said the other women there had hypodermic needles pushed into their abdomens to abort their fetus's

our most favored nation..china suffering "rioting" Tibetans
