The essay provides an insight into the thinking taking place in the CCP. The fact is that CCP like its Indian cousin are doctrinaire in their approach.There are important events which have made their thinking rigid, far removed from the ground reality and out of context. While China has adapted materially to the winds of change- being very practical people,they have not come to terms in their political thought. It makes their action that would have been relevent to the early years of the last century. It is definitely deplorable that they have shown the least sensitivity to their Tibetan brethren and thair aspirations to live their own way of life in dignity. It is difficult to understand why autonomy should be so dangerous in these times.
