Revisiting the Past

In a scene that seems reminiscent of the past secret police of Taiwan, Chinese police are reportedly going door to to door in search of people of 
Tibet who have participated in recent protest.  The protesters are seeking 
autonomy from China.

Tibetan exile government reports 80 deaths as a result of the protesters conflict with the Chinese militia.  China reports only 10 deaths during the violence.

The exiled leader of Tibet, the Dalai Lama, has labeled the conflict "cultural genocide".
