An article from Reuters about China's mass labor program in Tibet. A similar program also exists in Xinjiang and has led to accusations of "genocide" from Uyghur groups in exile. My impression is that we're dealing with a brutal attempt at industrialization and modernization, coupled with the usual "re-education" schemes. Which, of course, might be just as problematic, although a cynical Chinese bureaucrat might point out that the modernization of the West wasn't particularly "voluntary" either...
