Possibly you are a well-trained critic on media comparison, though I am not.

By the way, I have never seen the youtuve video, but the remark that "it was the first chinese military force getting into tibet" is clearly false. Chinese People's Liberation Army has intruded there for many times. Major events so far:

1951/Sep: Firstly CPLA conquered Lhasa
1959/Mar: First rebel of Tibetan people; CPLA suppressed it brutally, causing 87 thousands death
1959/Aug: CPLA was deployed along Tibet-India border (so-called Sino-Indian border conflict)
1989/Mar: Second rebel. Hu introduced CPLA again (victims unreported)
I think it was refer to the event. But still there is a difference between military force and anti-riot police maintain the force.

in this video, you can see the sie of the protest, i think in any country protest with this amount people will require armored police to maintain order or prevent certain things to happen

BTW, tell me, which side, pro-Communist and anti-Communist, is called "right-wing" in China? I have been curious for years.
I don't think there is a right wing or left wing in China, but back when Mao was still alive Chinese government was separated into 2 side, one was led by Mao's wife and Jiang Qing, and the other side was led by Deng Xiao Ping, Zhou En Lai.

Haven't touched chinese politics for over 10 years, but thats briefly right

Yes I agree, do not stereotype one nation just because of the history. be more reasonable and logical.
