Tourists banned from Tibet as China draws a veil over the 60th anniversary of its rule
Tourists have been banned from visiting Tibet for the second time this year as China draws a veil of secrecy over the 60th anniversary of its controversial rule in the area.
Tibet reopened to foreign tourists on Wednesday, three months after the Chinese government banned such visits in the wake of violent anti-government riots and protests that tainted the image of the country ahead of the Olympics.
