Dead Tibetans
Chinese netizens have compiled the names and photos of many of the Tibetans to have self-immolated since February 2009.
With the self-immolation on October 6 of 27-year-old Sangay Gyatso, according to writer Tsering Woeser, a total of 59 ethnic Tibetans have attempted fiery suicide in China since early 2009. Forty-six of those have succeeded. Gyatso left behind a 5-year-old daughter and a 7-year-old son.
Gyatso's photo completed the montage above, now circulating online, which features 56 of Tibet's self-immolating protesters.

-- Huawei and the China difference In the case of China, though, we are invited to accept that China can benefit from engagement in the world – from the globalisation that brought billions of investment into the country, the international trade that fed its long boom, or the raising of billions in capital for Chinese companies on international stock exchanges – without accepting the rules.
