I do not think China in anyway is going to go lean on Tibet or even consider tibet issue if they really do consider and give any kind of freedom there are others like Taipei who want to be free of china... what can china do it will be the collapse of chine just like Russia and this can never happen. As for America trying to mediate well that will be a cold day in hell! What has Tibet got to give US Buddhism as a religion? well this they do not want and hence US-China Bhai-Bhai. I agree with the writer that yes the awareness of Tibet has risen up a lot. And it also exposes China to be a tyrant that never changed colors since Tiannamen happened
