Ethnic Tibetan anger bubbled over today, and it wasn’t just in Lhasa, capital of the Tibetan Autonomous Region. Here’s a link to the story I've just written about the rioting in Lhasa.

Click on this website and scroll down to see photos taken with a mobile phone of what happened outside the Labrang Monastery in Gansu Province today. This place is far, far to the northeast of Tibet, practically halfway between Lhasa and Beijing. It is a big ethnic Tibetan enclave.

All week, Chinese officials have been saying only a handful of disgruntled Tibetans are causing problems. The Dalai Lama, for his part, says discontent is widespread because of "unimaginable and gross violations" by China against Tibetans.

I spoke a little while ago with Robbie Barnett, a professor of modern Tibetan studies at Columbia University in NYC. This is the way he summed it up: “The Dalai Lama is right. The Chinese are wrong. The Tibetan people are not happy.”
