Martial law, imposed in Lhasa today. may quell protests through
the 30th anniversary of the 1959 Tibetan uprising this Friday. All
meetings. parades. and petitions are banned: all vehicles arc subject
to security checks; and foreigners must have special permission to
remain in the city. A Beijing-controlled Hong Kong newspaper claims
the protests have foreign support and criticizes foreigners, "including
a small number of t 1S noliticians." for supporting calls for Tibetan
independence.
Comment: Beijing's tough response and indirect criticism of the US
Congress suggest it will use whatever force is necessary to suppress
the unrest regardless of international criticism. China nonetheless
remains at a loss on how to defuse underlying ethnic tensions.
Unwilling to negotiate some form of Tibetan autonomy with the
Dalai Lama. Chinese leaders may hope tougher measures will buy
time for their development policies to weaken independence
sentiment gradually. This strategy is likely to fail, hog
unrest is almost certain to recur over the longer term.
