China includes Tibet for visitors

Foreigners are temporarily not welcome to Tibet.

The party congress, held every five years, is the most important event on China's political calendar. For important events or birthdays, Tibet always locks for foreign visitors. There is a lot of unrest in the area and since 2009, more than 120 Tibetans have burned themselves to protest against Chinese rule.

It is expected that President Xi Jinping will use the forthcoming party congress to further strengthen his position. Observers also hope to receive signals about the economic rate that Xi wants to sail.
