Tibetan National Anthem Played

November 6, 2013;

There was surprise when China’s state controlled television and radio in Tibet launched a music video of the Tibetan national anthem on its new website. The anthem is sung by Tibetans in exile, but has been banned in Tibet for over 50 years. Playing the national anthem is normally a criminal offense and many people are confused, and wondering whether visiting the apps downloading page will mean that the song will be traced to their computers and smart phones, and result in punishment for them.
