Chinese soldiers in riot gear walk through the main square in the city of Kangding, around 400 km (250 miles) west of Chengdu in Sichuan Province March 21, 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 last week. 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)
