What security? What integrity? A totalitarian government cannot have much of either.
In what way are China's repsonses "ordinary"? How is the Tibetan movement more threatening than the Chinese government?
A cursory investigation into China reveals it as a threatening entity. I suppose it's "ordinary" in the sense that all governments are threatening, but beyond that...

Lets see... when theres is an uprising or at least an violent demonstration of this magnitude, the military is usually called in. This is perfectly ordinary.
How is the Tibetan Movement threatening the Chinese Government? Well, first of all, they are trying to become independant, thats already a threat. Its like if everybody in Alaska suddenly decides that they dont want to become part of America anymore... what the you guys do? Let them? Phff, yea right. AND you guys arent EVEN CONNECTED geographically.
And the only thing Threatening about China is its rapid economy. I would say America is the most threatening entity of all considerin it HUGE military budget and unprecedented amount of nuclear weapons (and its fear of other countries have nuclear weapons... hypocritical)
