Only 10 Chinese vs 70 Tibetans died, and that mostly because of fires started by the Chinese. Read article, then post.

...The article says that there was a mob of 200 Tibetans. And they were throwing bombs and setting fires. Regardless of the fact that only 10 Chinese died, there were still Buddhists rioting. It doesn't seem like they were monks, but it doesn't seem like the monks in Terminal's nation really do anything violent either. They mostly just govern it looks like; with some monasteries housing Jade Palace troops.
