Han Chinese vendors selling dried meat products at a store in old Lijiang on March 24, 2008 in southwest China's Yunnan province.The demonisation of Tibetans by China's media following riots in Lhasa has sparked a wave of ill-feeling against the ethnic minority in this scenic tourist town, an 800-year-old ancient trading centre largely populated now by Han Chinese and the indigenous ethnic Naxi minority, with armed riot and paramilitary police seen patrolling the streets and a convoy of vehicles parading up and down the main thoroughfare in a show of force aimed at intimidating potential trouble-makers.
