Chinese soldiers in riot gear walk past locals through the main square of the city of Kangding, located around 400km (250 miles) west of Chengdu in Sichuan Province March 20, 2008. China has been grappling to quell unrest in several Tibetan towns and villages in the country's west, after Buddhist monk-led demonstrations in Tibet's capital Lhasa turned violent on Friday. The government in recent days has asked foreigners in Tibet to leave and has suspended approving travel permits to the Himalayan region. REUTERS/David Gray (CHINA)
