In spite of claims by China that the situation is under control and going well in Tibet, it appears for Tibetans the realities are not so positive.

Chinese firefighters have successfully rescued an infant from a sewage pipe in Zhejiang province. The infant was discovered when residents of the apartment complex heard cries coming from behind the wall. After a section of the pipe was removed from the wall, it was discovered that the baby was stuck in the L-shaped joint of the pipe, and is believed to be a few days old. The landlady of the building said it was unlikely that the child was delivered there, as there was no blood found in the restroom.
