ビョークさん：上海で「チベット独立」叫ぶ
http://mainichi.jp/select/today/news/20080311k0000m030140000c.html
【上海・大谷麻由美】アイスランドの女性歌手、ビョークさんが２日、中国・上海のコンサートで「ディクレア・インディペンデンス（Ｄｅｃｌａｒｅ Ｉｎｄｅｐｅｎｄｅｎｃｅ＝独立を宣言しよう）」を歌った際、「チベット、チベット」と叫んだことが中国国内で波紋を広げている。中国文化省は７日、「中国の多くの民衆の強い不満を引き起こした」と批判し、法的に処分する方針を発表した。
この曲は、世界各地の分離・独立運動を念頭に作られている。文化省によると、ビョークさんはこの曲を歌うことを文化省に事前申請していなかった。
文化省は「チベットが中国の不可分の領土なのは、アイスランドを含む国際社会の共通認識だ」と指摘。「商業公演を利用して政治的な『演出』をする人は、職業道徳に反している」と強い不満を示した。今後は外国人の中国公演の事前審査を厳格化し、同様の問題の再発を防ぐ。
チベット独立を支持する国際団体は８月の北京五輪を前に、世界各地で活動を活発化させており、中国政府も神経をとがらせている。

China says Bjork's shout of 'Tibet!' hurt people's feelings

China will be stricter on foreign performers after Icelandic singer Bjork shouted "Tibet! Tibet!" at the end of her concert in Shanghai this week, the government said Friday.
A statement by China's Culture Ministry said Bjork's outburst "broke Chinese law and hurt Chinese people's feelings."
Bjork shouted "Tibet!" after a passionate performance of her song "Declare Independence" on Sunday. The outburst drew rare public attention inside China to Beijing's often harsh rule over the Himalayan region.
The statement, posted on the Culture Ministry's Web site, also said "there is no country that admits that Tibet is an 'independent country."'
Bjork has performed the song to support other independence movements in the past. She dedicated the song to Kosovo while performing last month in Japan. The lyrics include the phrase "Raise your flag!"
China's 58-year rule over Tibet has drawn frequent condemnation from foreign governments and activists, often inciting a prickly nationalism among the Chinese government and ordinary people. Many Tibetans consider the exiled Buddhist spiritual leader the Dalai Lama as their rightful leader.
Protests turn violent in Tibetan capital

BEIJING - Protests led by Buddhist monks against Chinese rule in Tibet turned violent Friday, with shops and vehicles torched and gunshots echoing through the streets of the ancient capital, Lhasa. A radio report said two people had been killed.

The U.S. and the European Union called on China to show restraint in the face of the protests and Washington said Beijing should respect Tibetan culture. Tibet's exiled spiritual leader, the Dalai Lama, appealed to China not to use force against demonstrators.
The Dalai Lama called on the Chinese leadership to "address the long-simmering resentment of the Tibetan people through dialogue with the Tibetan people. I also urge my fellow Tibetans not to resort to violence." His statement was issued from India where he is in exile.
Pro-Tibet protests were also staged in India and Nepal. In Katmandu, Nepal police scuffled with about 1,000 protesters, including dozens of Buddhist monks, during a rally. About 12 monks were injured. Police arrested dozens of pro-Tibet protesters near the Chinese embassy in New Delhi, India.
In Lhasa, the largest demonstrations in nearly two decades against Beijing's 57-year-rule of Tibet began Monday, coming at a critically sensitive time for China as it attempts to portray a unified and prosperous nation ahead of the Beijing Olympic Games in August.
The demonstrations turned violent Friday when witnesses reported hearing gunfire and seeing vehicles in flames in Lhasa's main shopping district in the center of Lhasa. Crowds hurled rocks at security forces and at restaurant and hotel windows.
Shops were set on fire along two main streets surrounding the Jokhang temple, Ramoche monastery, and the city's main Chomsigkang market, and heavy smoke rose from the area. Protesters appeared to be targeting Chinese-owned businesses.
"It was chaos everywhere. I could see fires, smoke, cars and motorcycles burning," said a Tibetan guide who spoke on condition his name not be used, fearing retaliation by authorities. He said the whole road in the main Barkor shopping area surrounding the Jokhang temple "seemed to be on fire."
The guide said armed police in riot gear backed by armored vehicles were blocking major intersections in the city center, along with the broad square in front of the Potala, the former winter home of the Dalai Lama.
"As I approached Potala Square, I heard cannon fire, louder than rifles. Others told me police were firing tear gas along Beijing Zhonglu, west of the Potala," he said.
Radio Free Asia, which is funded by the U.S. government, quoted witnesses as saying two bodies were seen lying on the ground in the Barkor area, a shopping district in the old city where the protests have been centered.
This week's demonstrations began on the anniversary of a 1959 uprising against Chinese rule. Chinese Communist forces invaded Tibet in 1950, hoping to reclaim a part of the former empire and command the strategic heights overlooking rival India.
Beijing continues to rule there with a heavy hand, enforcing strict controls on religious institutions and it routinely vilifies the Dalai Lama, winner of the 1989 Nobel Peace Prize who fled to India amid the 1959 rebellion. In recent decades, China has methodically begun exploiting the region's timber and mineral wealth.
The protests were initially led by hundreds of Buddhist monks demanding the release of other monks detained last fall. It was a stunning show of defiance for Tibetan monks who are usually closely monitored by Chinese officials.
Political demands soon came to the fore and the protests attracted large numbers of ordinary Tibetans and more monks demanding independence. Some unfurled the Tibetan flag, a capital offense in China.
Tensions in the Tibetan capital were heightened in the past few days as the city's three biggest monasteries were sealed off by thousands of soldiers and police in a government crackdown, Radio Free Asia reported Friday.
On Thursday, monks in Lhasa started a hunger strike and two attempted suicide as troops surrounded monasteries, RFA reported.
The protests were also spreading to Tibetan areas outside Lhasa, a city of about 250,000 permanent residents, not including large numbers of soldiers and members of China's paramilitary People's Armed Police.
The U.S. Embassy e-mailed an advisory to Americans warning them to stay away from Lhasa. The embassy said it had "received firsthand reports from American citizens in the city who report gunfire and other indications of violence."
Travel was also halted to Lhasa on Friday for foreigners, travel agents said. Hotels in the area were locked down at noon, said a hotel worker in downtown Lhasa.
It is extremely difficult to get independent verification of events in Tibet because China maintains rigid control over the area. Foreigners need special travel permits, and journalists are rarely granted access except under highly controlled circumstances.
A Western traveler told BBC World television Friday that police had attacked monks near monasteries and he saw military convoys moving into Lhasa carrying heavily armed troops.
Photographs taken by camera phone and forwarded to journalists by the Indian branch of Students for a Free Tibet showed an apparently peaceful protest march staged Friday in Xiahe, a traditionally Tibetan corner of the western Chinese province of Gansu.
The pictures showed robed monks ― some displaying the banned Tibetan national flag ― and lay people marching along a main street. Security forces with riot helmets and shields lined the way, but there was no sign of clashes.
Tibetans inside and outside the country have sought to use the Olympic Games' high profile to call attention to their cause. Beijing has accused the Dalai Lama ― whom many Tibetans consider their rightful ruler ― of trying to sabotage the games.
The U.S. urged China to show restraint and respect toward Tibetans.
"Beijing needs to respect Tibetan culture," White House spokesman Gordon Johndroe said. "We regret the tensions between the ethnic groups and Beijing. The president has said consistently that Beijing needs to have a dialogue with the Dalai Lama."
State Department spokesman Sean McCormack said the U.S. does not have any officials on the ground in Llassa and the U.S. is not aware of any American citizens involved in the protests or arrested in Tibet.
"Ambassador Randt, who was over meeting with senior level Chinese officials, took the opportunity to urge the Chinese government to act with restraint in dealing with the protesters," McCormack said.
European Union leaders also appealed to China to show restraint, and France's foreign minister said Paris was keeping its options open on whether to take further measures, possibly related to the Olympics.
The protests are believed to be the largest in the city since Beijing crushed a wave of pro-independence demonstrations in 1989. Since then, China has pumped investment into the region, vilified the Dalai Lama and tried to weed out his supporters among the influential Buddhist clergy.
Beijing maintains that Tibet is historically part of China. But many Tibetans argue the Himalayan region was virtually independent for centuries and accuse China of trying to crush Tibetan culture by swamping it with Han people, the majority Chinese ethnic group.
