Dalai Lama vs China

ARTICLE: Dalai Lama Envoys Ready For Talks
(Atlanta Journal-Constitution)…Unattributed, May 3, 2008

The Dalai Lama’s envoys headed for China to hold the first talks with Chinese officials since violent protests erupted in Tibet. China has faced more calls to negotiate with Tibet’s exiled spiritual leader, and many believe it agreed to the talks in a bid to ease the pressure ahead of the Beijing Olympics.

The Dalai Llama provides one of the world’s better examples of promoting the Diplomatic element of power to resolve challenging issues. Tibet aims to obtain autonomy; China considers autonomy synonymous with independence that they fiercely oppose.
