BBC NEWS | Asia-Pacific | Tibet unrest spreads beyond Lhasa — You will be seeing more and more news like this coming out of China as the anti-government organizations attempt to embarrass the country before the Olympics knowing that it could become a great humiliation. Also the forces of a cut-throat style of Capitalism, now firmly entrenched in the country, will result in an incredibly skewed distribution of wealth that will cause more havoc.

Tibetan protests against Chinese rule have spread to another part of China, after days of demonstrations and violence in Tibet’s main city, Lhasa.

Clashes between Tibetan protesters and police in Aba, Sichuan province, saw a police station and cars attacked.

Rights groups said several people had been killed in the clashes, though this could not be verified.

The violence came after exiled Tibetan leaders said a Chinese crackdown had killed at least 80 people in Lhasa.

Indian-based officials said the figure was confirmed by several sources, even though China had put the death toll during Friday’s riots at 10.

The Dalai Lama has called for an international inquiry into China’s crackdown, accusing it of a “rule of terror” and “cultural genocide”.
