The Agence France-Presse reports on the state of Burma’s democracy movement one year after the “Saffron Revolution.”

The International Herald Tribune reports that China has criticized the U.S. and accused it of “supporting Tibetan independence” following the passage of a bipartisan Senate resolution on Wednesday that urged Beijing to “hold serious talks with supporters of the Dalai Lama” and also “called for China to allow more religious freedom in Tibet.” (A U.S. State Department report released earlier this week showed that repression of religious freedom intensified in the Xinjiang province of China and in Tibet over the past year.)
