@Lita: no worries, we all get geographically disoriented sometimes ;) About the use of excessive force... I must say that Nepal has changed drastically over the last decade and post-civil war Nepal can be a rather violent place. But I get the feeling that Nepali security forces are MORE inclined to use force against Tibetans, for 2 reasons. One, Tibetan refugees have no citizenship rights. Two, the Nepalese are eager to please their Chinese neighbors. And like u mentioned about Burma - diplomacy is all about dollars and cents, at the end of it.

Sorry, Kathmandu in Nepal.

Sorry, Kathmandu in Nepal. Would one assume then that they are less inclined to use excessive force? Also, northern Burma is being slowly taken over by China, the influence is strong there too. Oil and offshore gas reserves in Burma...the local people resent this; however, they say (locals) China does provide some stability according to news sources.

Hi Lita, the security forces

Submitted by Edwin Koo on Thu, 11/03/2010 - 16:21.

Hi Lita, the security forces are made up of only Nepali nationals - no Chinese nationals were involved. Since this took place in Nepal, it was up to the Nepalese to deal with it. The Chinese have a big influence over Nepal nowadays, and they don't need lift one finger to put down any anti-Chinese protests.

Terrific pics, nicely

Terrific pics, nicely written. Realizing that the security are the Chinese, do other groups make up the security forces or are they only composed of Chinese nationals?
