China ‘closes Tibet to foreign visitors’

FAKE NEWS for the Zionist agenda

Nobody from the Chinese Embassy in London or the Chinese Tourist Board was
able to confirm the reports when contacted by Telegraph Travel.

China has banned foreign tourists from visiting Tibet before, usually during
periods of unrest and during religious festivals. Overseas tourists were
prevented from travelling to the region in 2008, following violent protests
in Lhasa, before the ban was lifted ahead of the Beijing Olympics.

Even when foreigners are permitted into Tibet, tours are closely monitored,
travellers must apply for a special visa and they will be accompanied by a
government-appointed guide. All foreign tour operators must make their
arrangements through Chinese firms.

Fionnuala McHugh, who visited Tibet for Telegraph Travel last year, said the
recent protests could have encouraged China to act.

“They do this quite often, but not usually during the peak travel period,” she
said. “The vast majority of visitors to Tibet are from China, but the
government closely regulates overseas tourism to Tibet, and want to control
what people see.

“Tourists will inevitably be carrying cameras and phones, and [China) really
doesn’t want them – and the world – to see people setting fire to
themselves.”
