The footage you saw has already been identified as ChiCom propaganda...

The footage I saw was in Chinese language with Chinese people being interviewed. I saw protesters burning entire blocks. I can read the signs on the buildings that are being burned and destroyed. CCTV is not an objective source but they can not fake that.

There was rioting in the provinces with innocent people getting killed at that the hands of the protesters. That was reported by world media not just CCTV.

You say the footage is propaganda. Of course it is. But the footage I saw was not fake? Can you make that distinction and address the question forthrightly? Do you support the lives being taken by those rioters?

“? Do you support the lives being taken by those rioters?”

What are Chinese businesses and Chinese people doing in Tibet?

Absolutely! Tibetans have every reason to rise up and kill their oppressors. The Chinese have acted like complete barbarians.

Tibetans crossing Nangpa Pass fired upon by border police, one year on from death of Tibetan nun

A group of Tibetans - mainly monks, nuns and including two children - were fired upon by People's Armed Police (PAP) as they attempted to cross the border into Nepal and exile on October 18, according to several members of the group who have now reached Kathmandu. No Tibetans in the group were killed or injured but several of them, including three monks in their twenties from eastern Tibet, were taken into Chinese custody.

(snip)

The shooting took place just over a year after a 17-year old nun, Kelsang Namtso, was shot dead by PAP border guards on September 30, 2006, in an incident that led to widespread condemnation of China after it was captured on film by a climber. Kelsang Namtso's death follows other incidents where Tibetans had been fired upon by PAP when attempting to cross the pass into exile, in 2005 and 2002. The shooting on October 18 indicates that firing at unarmed Tibetans escaping into exile, including children, is still regarded by the Chinese authorities as 'normal border management', as Beijing informed Western governments last year.

Nun shot in back and killed.

You can't get more blood thirsty and evil than to shoot unarmed people in the back trying to escape and then try to excuse it as "a national security risk." Horrible!
