这篇算非常典型的西方报道，强调中国镇压，低调藏民暴乱。

"As a freedom-loving people, if we don't speak out about the Chinese oppression, then we have lost our right to speak on human rights," Pelosi told reporters.
She made the comments during a meeting with the Dalai Lama, the Tibetan spiritual leader, noting that she was voicing her personal opinion and not U.S. government policy.
Pelosi also offered words of support for the people of Tibet, saying it is time to shed a bright light on what is happening in Tibet and insisting that the world know the truth.
Pelosi told the crowd at the temple in Dharamsala that it must be karma that brought her to India at such a difficult time. The Dalai Lama and Pelosi held hands as he escorted her around the temple.

"There's a great relationship between the United States and his holiness, the Dalai Lama," she said.
Pelosi is the first high-level U.S. official to meet with Tibet's spiritual leader in Dharamsala in the aftermath of deadly clashes that broke out a week ago in the Tibetan capital of Lhasa. The clashes involved Chinese security forces and anti-Chinese protesters. There were also reports of Tibetans attacking ethnic Han Chinese who live in Tibet.
Pelosi's visit was scheduled well ahead of the recent outbreak of violence. She is part of a U.S. congressional delegation in the country for bilateral meetings with the Indian government and to discuss climate change in New Delhi and Mumbai.
Tibetan exile groups say at least 80 people were killed by Chinese security forces in clashes, but Chinese authorities insist they acted with restraint and killed no one. Instead, China says 13 "innocent people" were killed, some brutally burned, by the Tibetan rioters.

In India, Tibet's government-in-exile said 19 Tibetans died in China's Gansu province in recent days, raising the total death toll from the unrest to 99.
Over the last week, the violence has spread beyond Tibet into at least two neighboring Chinese provinces -- Gansu and Sichuan -- both with large Tibetan populations.
