"Until today I knew nothing about what happened in Tibet before 1959," says Zhang Zhenjie, a retiree of 67 years, while enjoying several copies instruments of torture used in Tibetan prisons in the 50's. All material presented is used to argue the official version of what was Tibet before being "liberated" by China: a feudal and primitive kingdom, subject to the misery and religious authoritarianism of the Dalai Lama. In a moment of maximum tension in Tibet, where the army is responsible for suppressing any attempt at revolt, Beijing has opted for a huge of propaganda, ranging from exhibitions and press coverage, the screening of documentaries on Tibet in theaters - to gain popular support and promote patriotism. At present, Tibet and the Tibetan regions of China, concentrated in the provinces of Sichuan, Gansu and Qinghai, live a "state of exception" unofficial because of increased Chinese military deployment since the Sichuan earthquake in May last year. Access dozens of Tibetan towns and monasteries has been blocked and the indigenous population lives under strict police control. In particular, the monks accused of starting the riots last year. The Chinese government admitted yesterday that Tibet has intensified patrols in the region and the borders with Nepal and India to avoid "possible riots incited by the Dalai Lama and Western groups that support the independence of Tibet", according to China Daily.
"We spent all day with the police," he said by telephone Ylenia, an Italian journalist, from Xining, capital of Qinghai. After being held for hours in a police control on the road, Ylenia managed to reach the Longwu monastery, home to 400 Tibetan lamas, about 4 hours drive from Xining. In a quarter of an hour, the police entered looking for it and got the monastery. Restrictions on foreign media access to Tibetan areas make it very difficult to give a realistic vision of what is happening in Tibet. Ten days ago, a Tibetan monk Lithang in Sichuan, took to the streets waving a Tibetan flag and shouting slogans in favor of the Dalai Lama, and then tried to burn to bonzo, as pro-Tibet organizations in exile. In protest joined a rally of a thousand monks, but the Xinhua news agency, only admitted the entry of a monk burns in the hospital. Information differences between Beijing and the Tibetan exile - with conflicting interests - jumped view last year after the riots in Lhasa, according to the Chinese government in the attacks killed 19 Chinese citizens, a police. According to Tibetan organizations in exile, more than 200 Tibetans were killed during the police crackdown after the riots, and more than 1200 remain missing. Apart
contact with craft vendors, knowledge of Chinese on the problems of the Tibetan population is scarce. The Chinese press is censored and can not publish anything that might cast doubt on Beijing's Tibet policy. The exhibition includes photographs of the construction of the "Friendship Highway", the first highway Tibet, schools and modern apartment blocks with money raised in Beijing, and tables showing the increase in productivity in the field during the past 50 years. "The situation of Tibetans continue to develop gradually," says a marriage convinced Pekingese, visiting the exhibition. In a nearby display case presents a copy of the famous "Article 17" agreement signed between Mao Zedong and the Dalai Lama in 1951 in China was committed to respect the culture and traditional forms of government of Tibet. But the agreement was never respected. And after eight years of religious repression and the forced collectivization of land, that sank the indigenous population in poverty, Tibet exploded.
To visit one of the most popular exhibitions in Beijing these days there is no admission charge, but you need to pass a rigorous security check, including frisking and X-ray detector. Under the title "50 years of Democratic Reforms in Tibet", the exhibition brings together dozens of photographs and audiovisual presentations that according to its sponsor - the Chinese government - are the social and economic development achieved in Tibet over the past 50 years led by the Communist Party. However, the tight security at the entrance and the number of agents that roam the room with a bored face denote the exhibit, which opened two weeks ago, can arouse hostility. For Tibetans, this month is to commemorate the 50 anniversary of the popular uprising that forced the exile of the Dalai Lama and the first year of violent riots in Lhasa that triggered a brutal crackdown on Tibet China.
