Waiting
Here we are, waiting.
Just the briefest bit of downtime.
The US, EU and Canada have all now "called on" China to allow for freedom of expression from Tibetans.
This is the closest we've come to a unified international front in support of Tibet.
It will have no effect and it won't last long.
The problem is, China is waiting too. In fact they can hardly wait to loudly and publicly smack-down this tepid attempt at a unified Tibet statement.
At which point we release our "Free Tibet is Dead" series of blogs.
Too bad.

12/17/12. And.... just like clockwork, China slams the international community.

blogdai has had enough. Time to clean house in the Western-based Free Tibet movement. stay tuned.
12/19/12. And... After waiting patiently for the foot-dragging UK to issue its "us too" statement of support , the Chinese lay into them with both barrels. As predicted. http://zeenews.india.com/news/world/war-of-words-between-china-britain-over-tibet-issue_817675.html
A weak effort by a weak Western coalition that clearly doesn't have its heart in the issue.

China will call it a matter of "internal affairs" so you are right Blogdai.
Understand that Tibet policy is a work in progress. You may elect to wait but some of us are actively endeavoring to bring about change through the political process in Washington. Quite a few substantial initiatives and State department proclamations have been the result.

Can't imagine why you would think that State Department "proclamations" would have any effect.
This is the problem. You arrogantly rely to much on the US Governmental framework as some sort of savior for Tibetans.
You will never get any traction or any progress in this regard, and "poof" another Tibetan self-immolated: I guess he didn't get the memo on how successful you've been with your "proclamations."
