I believe that fake monks exist -- there are almost certainly several that wander around aggressively begging for money where I live.  But for 180 police officers to chase ten of them, there's got to be something else going on.

Nineteen men have been detained by police in southwest China for impersonating monks and selling fake or shoddy goods, a local official and state media said Sunday.

. . .

When police officers arrived at one site, they saw 10 of the men attacking journalists from a local television station trying to film them, the paper said. Some 180 officers gave chase after the monks escaped in two vehicles and fired warning shots into the air after they intercepted the vehicles, it said.

it's intresting that there is such a lack of awarness on what I can only assume is and orginized enterprise.

in India and SE Asia most people are smart enough to understand that beggers are not workign alone. but on the out skirts of Tibet the whole idea that a monk could be dressed that way for profit is shocking.

then again it all comes down to the fact the people generaly see what they want or expect to see.

shocking to me is the fact that the locals seem to have excepted the fagger monks as a part of the new china. you'd think in a land where sending a son to a monastery is an ingrained part of the culture that impersonating a monk for personl gain would viewed as one of the big taboos.
