BEIJING, April 7 (Reuters) - China said on Monday that an outbreak of birdflu had killed 268 chickens at a poultry farm in the Tibet region.

Tests by a national laboratory showed the birds had died from the H5N1 strain of the virus, but it is now under control in the affected area, the Agriculture Ministry said in a statement on its Web site (www.agri.gov.cn).

Now I wonder is this really another outbreak or is China just killing Tibetan chickens? If a massive outbreak occurs China would be the worst affected as a huge amount of its population depend on poultry for food.
