Kathmandu. Tibet is one of the most tightly controlled regions in China. China established its control over Tibet in the 1950s. <\/p>\n
Tibet has long been demanding greater autonomy, and China is extremely vigilant against protests or any kind of unrest there. For this reason, Chinese President Xi Jinping personally issued instructions regarding relief work after this disaster. <\/p>\n
Premier Li Keqiang also visited the scene on Thursday. His visit to the affected region so soon after a major disaster is considered highly unusual. <\/p>\n
It is difficult to enter Tibet. Foreigners need special visas and permits to visit. It is also very difficult for foreign media to reach Tibet. It is also difficult to contact the people there. <\/p>\n
Therefore, it is difficult to accurately assess the true extent of the destruction in Tibet at this time. To understand the situation there, one has to rely heavily on Chinese state media reports. <\/p>\n
Pilgrims travelling to Tibet via the holy Mount Kailash must obtain four separate permits with special permission from the Chinese military. According to China’s state broadcaster CCTV, as of 6 p.m. on Saturday, 16 people had died and 546 were still missing in landslides in Tibet. This includes 226 foreign nationals. -Agency<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
