A statue of the Buddha in Drago in Kham [Ch: Sichuan] has been destroyed under instruction of the Chinese authorities, reports Tibet Watch. The 99-foot high statue, costing 4,000,000 Yuan (US$ 630,000 / £470,000), was built with money raised by local Tibetans and with the full approval of the local authorities. 45 nearby huge prayer wheels were also destroyed, and large vertical prayer flags removed and burned.
