The Chinese would love nothing more than that surprise. It will allow them
to finish the job.
For all it's geographic area, Tibet is a land of no strategic or economic
interest to any Western power. India may feel differently but how differently
is a question.

As the situation gets worst, China reinforces the tension with the
claim that states of Arunachal Pradesh used to belong to Tibet and as
so belong to China.

is becoming more agressive with its politics and if other nations do
not raise their voice against it, things promisses to get worst.
Unfortunatly on 15 of November the British Chief Minister recognized
the Chinese sovereignty over Tibet.

accusations against the Dalai Lama and Tibet. The Chinese aggressive
approach is not only centered on Tibet but underground they also
work against Tibetan Buddhism. I am afraid that pretty soon the
Chinese claims over Indian Territories will also increase.

Dear Erica,
The genocide of Tibetan people perpetrated by Communist China for
more than 50 years is a very clear evidence that for the Western
liberal democracies, led by the EU and the US, "human rights" is a
nothing but a useful political slogan which serves to deflect
attention from the fundamental fact that the 1.3 billion strong
Chinese market is inded the central interest of the "freedom-loving"
nations.
Call me a skeptic if you want, but I am convinced that not even
Barack Obama would have the guts (or the interest) to take on China
on the issue of Tibet.
Western liberal democracies continue to have blood on their hands.
Every time they renew their "Most favoured nation status" with China
they do so on the background of torture, killing and raping of many
Tibetan Buddhist nuns, as well as of monks and activists. They have
condoned and continue to condone one of the most brutal political
regimes in modern history. And they know it.
When the Dalai Lama officially announced that he had given up on
negotiating with China he was just being honest. You can't negotiate
with people that do not take you seriously.
The Chinese government may soon have a surprise in their hands when
the more radical wings of the Tibetan movement call for full
independence from China, instead of autonomy, and takes the struggle
to a new political level, in which nothing is excluded.
So far for Tibet and the Tibetans Kali Yuga has won. So far.
