What does singing mean to you?
Music gives us a way to express ourselves, and to many of us, it means everything.

Intercontinental are due to open a luxury hotel in Lhasa, the capital of Chinese occupied Tibet. The Chinese have requested that staff at this hotel report any Tibetan guests to the authorities within 10 minutes of their arrival at the establishment, essentially racially profiling and discriminating against Tibetans in their own country.
