1 AVANSATI, ANUL 1, 11 APRILIE 2008 I. Read and translate New York Times- Monks Disrupt Media Tour in China By JIM YARDLEY and JAKE HOOKER Published: April 10, 2008 BEIJING Buddhist monks interrupted a government-managed media tour in western China on Wednesday, waving a Tibetan flag and protesting that the authorities were depriving them of their human rights. The disruption, in the city of Xiahe in Gansu Province, was another unexpected public relations setback for China, and marked the second time that monks have upstaged government efforts to control foreign media tours of Tibetan areas. Last month, several monks in Lhasa, the Tibetan capital, risked official punishment when they made an emotional appeal to foreign journalists inside the Jokhang Monastery, one of the city s holiest shrines. The outburst on Wednesday came as authorities guided reporters through the Labrang Monastery. The tour marked the first officially approved visit to Xiahe by foreign reporters since monks and other Tibetans in the city clashed with police last month. During the tour, about 15 monks rushed out, waving a Tibetan flag, and approached a group of about 20 Chinese and foreign reporters. The Dalai Lama has to come back to Tibet, one monk said, according to Reuters, which was invited on the tour. We are not asking for Tibetan independence, we are just asking for human rights. We have no human rights now. Several monks draped their heads in robes, Reuters reported, possibly as an attempt to conceal their identities and avoid later punishment. They also said that local authorities were holding other monks and that armed, plainclothes security officers were posted around the city. The protest in Xiahe came as the issue of Tibet continues to create a domestic political crisis and international public relations disaster for China. Tibet and other regions were rocked by anti-chinese riots last month, and China is facing increasing criticism over its human rights record as it prepares to play host to the Olympic Games in August. This week, anti-china protesters angry about China s record on human rights disrupted the international Olympic torch relay as it passed through London and Paris, while San Francisco on Wednesday girded for a major confrontation with protesters during the only leg of the tour in the United States. International leaders, including President Bush, have called on China s ruling Communist Party to meet with the Dalai Lama, the Tibetan spiritual leader, and begin a dialogue on resolving the Tibetan situation. On Wednesday, Australian Prime Minister Kevin Rudd used a speech at Peking University in Beijing to raise human rights concerns about Tibet. Australia, like most other countries, recognizes China s sovereignty over Tibet but we also believe it is necessary to recognize there are significant human rights 1
2 problems in Tibet, said Mr. Rudd, a fluent Mandarin speaker, according to accounts in the Australian media. But, as yet, China has shown few signs of softening its tough accusations against the Dalai Lama and continues to blame a Dalai clique for the riots and protests that erupted on March 14 in Lhasa. This week, state media disputed a list of Tibetan victims released by the Tibetan government-in-exile, saying that many of the names could not be proved to exist. China s state media is also filled with reports defending China s policies toward Tibet, even as many Tibetans and analysts partly trace the roots of last month s violence to failed government policies. The press tour of Xiahe was organized by Beijing authorities, which invited only selected media organizations. The government used the same invitation-only strategy during the Lhasa tour, overruling objections from uninvited news organizations in the name of security concerns. The New York Times sought to be included in both tours but was not invited. At a news conference in Beijing on Wednesday, Champa Phuntsok, chairman of the Tibet Autonomous Region government, continued the campaign against the Dalai Lama, accusing the spiritual leader of telling lies to instigate antagonism between various ethnic groups and to cheat the international community. Champa Phuntsok also said that the protests in London and Paris proved the Dalai Lama was not sincere in achieving reconciliation with the Chinese government. I believe Tibetans are a good, simple people who know how to be grateful, he said. The chairman, himself Tibetan, said seeing images of overseas Tibetan protesters made him ashamed. He told reporters that the monks who protested to foreign reporters last month in Lhasa would not be punished despite assertions by monks that the government is doing just that. We simply do not punish or execute monks for telling a different version, he said. Of course, their version is untrue. Meanwhile, Chinese public security officials announced that security would be increased for the Chinese stage of the Olympic torch relay, which begins May 4 and continues until August 8, when the flame is scheduled to arrive in Beijing for the Olympic opening ceremony. The Ministry of Public Security issued a notice on its Web site calling on all local police departments to guarantee security work in order to assure a smooth procession of the torch through China, according to state media reports.

The authorities have launched a drive to counter what they allege is biased coverage of the unrest and their response by many in the western media. Foreigners are not allowed into Tibet at present and even under normal circumstances journalists are rarely granted permission to travel there. Reporters attempting to reach other areas of unrest in China have been turned back or ejected by security forces. Officials arranged for a small group to travel to Xiahe, Gansu province today. The town was the scene of angry protests last month. But the visit took an unexpected turn as between 15 and 30 lamas, carrying a banned Tibetan flag, burst out of a building at Labrang monastery and rushed across to the group of Chinese and foreign journalists. "The Dalai Lama has to come back to Tibet. We are not asking for Tibetan independence, we are just asking for human rights, we have no human rights now," one monk told the reporters in Chinese. According to a Reuters journalist covering the trip, many of the lamas had their heads covered in robes. They said other monks were being held by the authorities and that armed plainclothes agents were stationed throughout Xiahe. The state news agency Xinhua reported only that a group of monks at the monastery of Labrang in western Gansu province bordering Tibet had interrupted the event, and said the visit resumed soon afterward. It did not mention the tour on its websites. Last month lamas at the Jokhang temple in Lhasa disrupted the first trip for foreign journalists to Tibet, interrupting a speech on inter-ethnic harmony and telling reporters: "They are tricking you. Don't believe them. They are lying to you." At a separate press conference in Beijing, Qiangba Puncog, chairman of the Tibet Autonomous Region government, said police had detained 953 people suspected of involvement in last month's violent riots in Lhasa. But he added that they were "an extremely tiny minority" of Tibetans and that only "an extremely tiny minority" of monks protested. 3
4 "They do not, and cannot, represent Tibet and the Tibetan people," he added. Puncog said prosecutors had also issued arrest warrants for 403 of those detained, a step that generally leads to formal prosecution. He said 362 people had handed themselves in to police in response to a government ultimatum, but 328 were released on the grounds that their crimes were light and they had a "good attitude" in confessing them. It was unclear if the remaining 34 were included in the tally of detainees. Police also issued warrants for 93 suspects, 13 of whom have been caught and nine who surrendered themselves. The government says 22 people, mostly "innocent civilians", died in the Lhasa riots. Independent accounts have described vicious attacks on Han Chinese residents. The Tibetan government-in-exile alleges the true tally across China is more than 140 with many protesters dying in clashes with security forces. Vocabulary Crackdown = take severe measures against lawbreakers Drive = an organized effort to achieve sth Allege = declare sth without proof; advance as an argument or excuse Lama = Tibetan Buddhist monk Resume = begin again, or continue after an interruption Tally = a mark registering a fixed number of objects delivered or received (HOMEWORK: WRITE A 1 PAGE ESSAY: YOUR OPINION OF NATO AND OF ITS SUMMIT IN ROMANIA) II.
