Tibet has been "liberated" by China for over half a century right? Why then with this grand liberation does China have to close the borders of Tibet to foreigners once again? Such are the anomalies of China or are they?
Recently even tour groups were banned from entering Tibet, a strange ban for a liberated country. The occasion of course was the upcoming 90th anniversary of the Chinese Communist Party. Beijing travel agencies were hoping this ban would be lifted by now, but not so. I guess the liberation effect is taking longer than expected.
