Bjork's 'Tibet!' prompts action from China's govt

China will be stricter on foreign performers after Icelandic singer Bjork shouted: “Tibet! Tibet!” at the end of her concert in Shanghai this week, the government said.

A statement by China’s Culture Ministry said Bjork’s outburst “broke Chinese law and hurt Chinese people’s feelings”.

Bjork shouted out after a passionate performance of her song 'Declare Independence'.

The outburst drew rare public attention inside China to Beijing’s often harsh rule over the Himalayan region.
