I wonder how much the Chinese Government are trying to get those documents at the moment.

Is Tibet right next to China?
I'm not very familiar with the issues over there.

EDIT:
Tibet Autonomous Region lies in the southwest of China and in the Qinghai-Tibet Plateau.

In the history of Tibet, it has been an independent country[1], divided into different kingdoms and states, and a part of China each for a certain amount of time. Today it is mostly controlled by People's Republic of China (PRC), while a small part is controlled by India. The government of the People's Republic of China (PRC) and the Government of Tibet in Exile, however, disagree over the definition of Tibet, and whether its incorporation into China is legitimate according to international law.

Looks like they already might have them.

Tibet is largely controlled by China however the Dalai Lama is highly critical of them. The Chinese government would love to be able to shut him up.

Well the Dalai Lama should be able to protect his computers better, or go back to writing on paper.
Is it true many trojans and malwares don't get found by anti-virus programs?
