Uprising of any kind against any govt is a warning that all is not well and things cannot be taken for granted.The Tibeten uprising is class in itself and a warning to the Chinese communists that they can no longer suppress the peoples aspiration.If China has any regard to the world public opinion, instead of using arms against innocent civilians, it should call the leadership to talk to them and address their grievances.The early they do, it is better for them.What Chinese authorities fail to understand is this uprising is the beginning and it will spread like a wild fire to other parts of China where people are equally suppressed. Before it spreads to other areas, the Chinese Authorities would do well to understand the problem and solve them.It is possible that some Dalai Lama in some parts of China where people are equally unhappy may rise in revolt against the strict communist regime and do maximum damage to them. It is in their larger interest like what they did on economic front changing before world changes them. Popular mood in the world is that China should talk to either Dalai lama or other representatives of the demonstrators in Lahasa immediately. India on its part should press home this point. There is another place where such uprising is waiting to erupt is Burma.Here also popular democratic movement is being suppressed by the ruling Military Junta and their leader Sui Kuyi is under house arrest.Taking cue from the situation in Lahasa, they should talk to her al

sulle...perhaps u r not aware that lot of hui sullahs have settled in lhasa. Tibetians burned the mosque in lhasa and drove hui out. Tibetians like Hindus dislike both the totalitarians - islamists as well as communists.

The Hui and Han, both are attacked. Feudal lamas backed by CIA can use religion to instigate poor Tibetans.

Your solution to the Tibet problem is perfect. Negotiations and political compromise is the best way forward.

Except for analyzing the problem in some 2 cross 2 framework. What tangible solution do you have to offer Mr Astute Analyst?

I think we should support autonomy for Tibet but not Dalai Lama. China will be ready to sign a decent deal on the border issue. The reason why China does not agree on McMohan line is because a Tibetan representative was a party to the conference where the line was finalized. These are my suggestions.

I think, tibetians are moderate. uighur gonna import nukes from pakland and explod in guongdong, shenzhen, shanghai, beijing et. al.
Then chinese gonna free eastern turkistan (Khamboja?) and Tibet.
like islamists, only language chinese communists understand is superior violence.

I fail to understand what will you gain if Shanghai and Beijing are nuked. Instead why don't you go and visit the nice cities as a tourist?
