And they did so by killing less than 100 people. Although it does appear that some of them may have been Buddist Monks.
The Chinese really have evolved as a nation, since becoming America's top trading partner.

NOTE the propellers on the rear. These fighting vehicles are fully amphibious, and can easily cross rivers.

Some of those monks are badasses.

Why are the Chinese so uptight about monks anyway? Don't monks kind of just keep to themselves?
-
Communists aren't too keen on religion, and the monks are against the Chinese occupation/governing of Tibet.

Monks represent enlightened independent thought, communism's deadliest enemy.

I hate monks.
I love Chinese food.
Go China!

Why does China feel the need to occupy Tibet anyways? A quick search doesn't show Tibet as having a lot of natural resources, in fact Tibet seems to derive a large chunk of its GNP from tourism.

She recently stared in the Disney Channel's TV Movie: " Wendy Wu: Homecoming Warrior"
In it, she plays a teenage high school student who must defend her school's Homecoming from a sinister gang of martial arts criminals.
The movie is currently out on DVD, if you missed it:

Only the "Kicking Edition" is available, however.
Apparently the "Non-Kicking Edition" did not sell very well. :lol :lol

Was that a cynical remark?

Absolutely not.
My Cousin is married to a Tibetan refugee, he is quite distressed about the things going on in Tibet at the moment.
The thing I cannot seem to get past is how the Chinese government has not be openly ridiculed the way <insert your preferred western leader here> would have been if they had referred to the Dalai Lama as a terrorist.
