China steps up control on Internet and mobile phones in Tibet

By -

BEIJING: China has stepped up controls on mobile phones and Internet in Tibet in the midst of recurring suicides by Buddhist monks, even as top Chinese Communist Party leaders have called for all out efforts to protect the stability of the sensitive Himalayan region.

"Mobile phones, Internet and other measures for the management of new media need to be fully implemented," a report in the Tibet Daily quoted Chen Quanguo, Communist Party head of Tibet as saying.

He also asked officials to spread a message that stability meant everything for Tibet and "unstable elements should be nipped in the bud".

Meanwhile, one of China's top leaders, Jia Qinglin, stressed efforts to maintain steady and relatively fast economic growth and safeguard social harmony and stability in Tibet and Tibetan-inhabited areas in Sichuan, Yunnan, Gansu and Qinghai provinces.

Jia, a member of the Standing Committee of the Politburo of the Central Committee of the Communist Party of China (CPC) said stability concerning Tibet was important as the CPC is due to hold its 18th Party Congress this year to elect new leadership for the country.

Jia urged authorities to do a good job in work concerning Tibet and Tibetan-inhabited areas in the four provinces, which he said carries overall significance for the Party and the country.

"We should consider both internal and external situations and firmly follow the gist of 'making progress while maintaining stability,' striving for a steady economic growth in Tibet and the Tibetan-inhabited areas in four provinces," Jia was quoted as saying by state-run Xinhua news agency.

His comments came as China stepped up security all over Tibet and its surrounding prefectures in the face of recurring suicides by Buddhist Monks demanding the return of the Dalai Lama, who is on exile in India.

So far, 22 monks and nuns attempted self-immolations ramping up pressure on the government.

How a cyber attack hampered Hong Kong protesters

Massive public protests taking place in Hong Kong over the past week are aimed at a new extradition law, known as the Fugitive Offenders Ordinance , that would see accused criminals extradited to mainland China to face prosecution. Hongkongers feel the law could be used to legalise the kidnapping of people who express views, and act in ways, that are not popular with the Chinese government . The same law could also be used to extradite tourists and visitors to China who are arrested on suspicion of having committed these crimes. Protesters want the bill scrapped. For now, debate of the legislation has been postponed . Organisers say one million people turned out for the protests, while police estimate the number was around 240,000. Either way, it was a significant number of Hong Kong’s 7.5 million population. Commentators on Twitter remarked on how well organised the protesters were. So, how did they do it? Protesters across the world are using n

In fact, no ideology has been as genocidal as Islam… Islam has killed more than 5 times the number of people killed by communism. In the total numbers we have updated over 80 million Christians killed by Muslims in 500 years in the Balkan states, Hungary, Ukraine, Russia. Then we have India. The official estimate number of Muslim slaughters of Hindus is 80 million. However, Muslim historian Firistha (b. 1570) wrote (in either Tarikh-i Firishta or  the Gulshan-i Ibrahim) that Muslims slaughtered over 400 million Hindus up to the peak of Islamic rule of India, bringing the Hindu population down from 600 mil to 200 million at the time. With these new additions the Muslim genocide of non-Muslims since the birth of Mohammed would be  over 669 million murders. Islam: The Religion of Genocide Perspective:   Think the Spanish inquisition was bad? More people are killed by Islamists each year than in all 350 years of the Spanish Inquisition* combined.
