A traditional Tibetan religious gathering and horse racing festival has been banned in southwestern China’s Sichuan province because participants have refused to fly the Chinese national flag at the events.

Religions gatherings are gaining popularity in Tibet, possibly to show defiance of the Chinese regime there.
