China concerned over Tibetans illegally entering Nepal
(PTI; TibetInfoNet) Beijing has expressed serious concern over the allegedly rising number of Tibetans crossing the border into Nepal, days after a group of 17 Tibetans were arrested at a security check point. Defence Attache General Chen Chong and another official from the Chinese embassy in Kathmandu toured the eastern Dolakha district and met security personnel there. A comparison of available figures, however, reveals that, so far, the number of Tibetans known to have crossed the border clandestinely is still below the average of recent years.
