What's Tibetan for "Ooh, Snap!"?

The Dalai Lama on Tuesday invited international observers, including Chinese officials, to scour his offices here and investigate whether he had any role in inciting the latest anti-Chinese violence in Tibet. He also threatened to resign as leader of Tibet's government-in-exile in the event of spiraling bloodshed in his homeland.To review:
Chinese Premier Wen Jiabao has accused the Dalai Lama of masterminding the recent days of demonstrations against Chinese rule in Tibet's capital, Lhasa. Mr Wen said the exiled Tibetan spiritual leader's claim of "cultural genocide" was "nothing but lies".If there is "ample fact and plenty of evidence," then China's Communist authoritarians should have no problem finding it. And if they can't, then surely they will be able to manufacture. Thus ever with tyrants.
...
"There is ample fact and plenty of evidence proving this incident was organised, premeditated, masterminded and incited by the Dalai clique," he said.

Of course, with oppressive regimes like China manufacturing false evidence often goes hand-in-hand with concealing truthful evidence:
Internet users in China were blocked from seeing YouTube.com on Sunday after dozens of videos about protests in Tibet appeared on the popular U.S. video Web site.Acts like this (not to mention acts like this or this) ought lay to rest the preposterous notion that "Market Communism" is viable notion or that political freedom can be divorced from economic freedom. No matter how many shiny new skyscrapers (in special economic zones accessible only to loyal elites) China's Communist brutal thugs may build, it will not change the fact that they are brutal thugs.
The blocking added to the communist government's efforts to control what the public saw and heard about protests that erupted Friday in the Tibetan capital, Lhasa, against Chinese rule.
...
Beijing tightened controls on online video with rules that took effect Jan. 30 and limited video-sharing to state-owned companies.
