First, consider the riots. Exactly what sparked them is unclear. But as a reporter from the Economist magazine, one of the few Western journalists able to witness the events, later wrote, they quickly turned into an ethnic rampage. Tibetan mobs attacked shopkeepers belonging to China's Han majority and set fire to their shops. Some Han Chinese were killed. For more than a day, mobs kept police and soldiers at bay.

Whatever its underlying cause, the Tibetan uprising in Lhasa certainly did not represent a victory for human rights. It was vicious and racist. The Chinese government describes it as such and in this it is right.
