From ICT&#8217;s introduction:<\/p>\n<blockquote><p>Social media messages posted by Chinese tourists visiting Tibetan regions have provided a revealing window into Chinese policies in Tibet. The messages recovered by ICT provide further evidence of the large-scale security personnel deployments that have increasingly become part of the Tibetan landscape since the\u00a0<a href=\"http:\/\/www.savetibet.org\/great-mountain-burned-by-fire\/\" target=\"_blank\">widespread Tibetan protests of 2008<\/a>, followed by what now numbers\u00a0<a href=\"http:\/\/www.savetibet.org\/resources\/fact-sheets\/self-immolations-by-tibetans\/\" target=\"_blank\">more than 125 self-immolations<\/a>. These observations counter the\u00a0<a href=\"http:\/\/eng.tibet.cn\/2012sy\/xw\/201311\/t20131127_1953522.html\" target=\"_blank\">portrayal by Chinese officials and state media<\/a>\u00a0of a tranquil and grateful Tibetan population.<\/p>\n<p>The messages highlight the disparate security conditions under which Tibetan and Chinese people live in the People\u2019s Republic of China, with Tibetans treated with greater suspicion and\u00a0<a href=\"http:\/\/www.savetibet.org\/long-sentences-for-spying-and-splittism-follow-tibetan-nomads-call-for-dalai-lama-to-return-to-tibet\/\" target=\"_blank\">targeted for even low-level information sharing<\/a>.<\/p>\n<p>Under China\u2019s system for\u00a0<a href=\"http:\/\/www.nytimes.com\/2011\/03\/01\/world\/asia\/01china.html\" target=\"_blank\">stability maintenance<\/a>, or\u00a0<em>weiwen<\/em>, authorities have implemented an extensive security apparatus and show overwhelming force in order to \u201c<a href=\"http:\/\/www.reuters.com\/article\/2013\/01\/29\/us-china-tibet-idUSBRE90S0ED20130129\" target=\"_blank\">maintain harmony and stability in Tibet<\/a>.\u201d At the same time, the Chinese government has sought to suppress the dissemination of accurate news from Tibet<a href=\"http:\/\/www.savetibet.org\/newsroom\/has-life-here-always-been-like-this\/#1f\"><sup>[1]<\/sup><\/a>\u00a0through censorship and restrictions on foreign tourists.<\/p>\n<p>Chinese authorities go to great lengths to censor the information available in the PRC.

This crackdown has resulted in a decrease of Weibo users and a shift to other platforms, such as WeChat.<\/p>\n<p>Despite authorities\u2019 efforts to censor to crack down on social media, ICT was able to collect hundreds of\u00a0<a href=\"http:\/\/www.savetibet.org\/weibo-appendix\/\" target=\"_blank\">images and messages<\/a>\u00a0from the popular Chinese microblogging site,\u00a0<a href=\"http:\/\/www.weibo.com\/\" target=\"_blank\">Sina Weibo<\/a>, using the crowd-sourced perspective of Chinese tourists to further document the harsh security measures implemented in Tibet by Chinese authorities.
