Tibet 

It's a propaganda war, and the Chinese are losing because of many factors, some of which of their own causing - e.g. the lack of press freedom in China, making Chinese reports less credible. There is also political advantage to be gained by appearing to be tough on China  and not just from the pro-Tibetan activists, also trade protectionists and suchlike. Oh well. Hopefully common sense and level-headedness will prevail after this all dies down.  (Talk)
