Warning - very disturbing video.

I don't know why this hasn't reached the American media much, but there is a video from Russian journalists from September 30th, it shows a chinese soldier is shooting fleeing tibetan refugees as they leave tibet. This is at high altitude and cold conditions, so they refugees can't really do much to escape and barely pause their movements when a refugee gets shot and falls to the ground.

The video has interviews with norwegian and russian climbers who witnessed and recorded it happening.

quotes:
At first they said they didn't know. "I've seen the reports about this, but I've no knowledge of the specific situation," Liu Jianchao, a ministry spokesman, told a news conference in Beijing about the shootings at Nangpa La.

That's when the pictures showed up.

Only hours later, China admitted. But now they claimed self-defense. A Xinhua report said that the people trying to cross the border attacked the soldiers, who were then "forced to defend themselves."

China treats the tibetans like animals now, and it seems like the Chinese government using their new high-altitude train is intent on replacing the indigenous people with the Han chinese race. It is very messed up what has been happening over there, but the US is completely quiet on this issue. I don't understand why we are so much aligned with China, when they are basically a very evil government.
