There are reports that the Chinese have shot a group of Tibetans trying to cross Nangpa La pass. The source is choosing to remain anonymous until he or she is out of China, but is likely a climber at nearby Cho Oyu basecamp. Reports of this kind are not always reliable, but if it's false, no credit is due to the goodwill and restraint of the Chinese. The Peoples' Republic will certainly do what it can to prevent this news from spreading, false or true.
