BEIJING (AP) — China has reopened Tibet to foreign tourists, state media said Sunday, almost two months after imposing a ban ahead of politically sensitive anniversaries.

A group of 11 German travelers arrived in the regional capital of Lhasa late Saturday, the Xinhua News Agency said. The group was on a six-day tour, which would take them to a number of "key scenic spots" before leaving for Nepal, Xinhua said.

China requires foreigners to obtain special permission to visit Tibet and routinely bars them from all Tibetan areas of the country during sensitive periods to keep news of unrest from leaking out.

The latest travel ban on foreigners came in February and March because of the Tibetan New Year and anniversaries of Tibetan uprisings against Chinese rule. A man who answered the telephone at the Lhasa tourism bureau said he had not heard the news about the visitors.

1. What has happened by to the Tibetan People is a crime against humanity.

The Communist Chinese Government are ruthless killers and liars, and are exploiting Tibet, offering little to the Tibetans, and taking away their religious and cultural Freedom.

The Government of the PRC is against Human Rights, and unfortunately working to become the next global superpower, and most of our Democratic and Republican Leadership has given the PRC too much power, and they control 40% of our national debt. I hope what has happened to the Tibetans will not happen to the US in the next century. G-d Help Us All?
