Here are today’s Tibet-related headlines:
The New York Times reports on the meeting between President Nicolas Sarkozy of France and President Hu Jintao of China to repair ties between the two nations that were strained in recent months over the Tibet issue.
Meanwhile, “an umbrella group representing 28 local Chinese organisations wants the Government [of New Zealand] to follow South Africa’s lead in refusing to grant the Dalai Lama a visa to visit,” according to the New Zealand Herald.
The Agence France-Presse reports that “China issued new rules on Thursday aiming to crack down on ‘harmful’ political or religious online videos, two weeks after footage of police allegedly beating Tibetan monks circulated on the Web.”
The AFP also reports Britain’s Prince Charles raised the issue of Tibet during talks with Hu Jintao at the G20 summit in London this week.
Tibet Will Be Free reports that the Vermont State Senate passed a strong resolution today in support of Tibet and calling on the U.S. Congress to “take forceful action to end China’s repression in Tibet.”
Our friend and past interviewee Erick D. White sends us a piece from the Asia Times Online about the recent comments made by China’s faux Panchen Lama.
