    • Abstract:
      The article examines regulations that Chinese officials have put in place to monitor travel along the Qinghai-Tibet Highway leading to Lhasa in Tibet. Topics include why the Communist Chinese government is concerned with limiting Buddhist pilgrimages to Lhasa, why Tibetan self-immolations encourage Tibetan separatist movements, and how the Dalai Lama has featured in political protests.
