Everyone is so upbeat on China these days. Booming economy, falling communism. It is easy to forget the ongoing human rights violations, censorship, environmental destruction, and oppression. China is still very much an autocratic (dictatorial? tyrannical?) regime. So while I applaud China’s progress, as the Olympics approach I wonder why we don’t care more about Tibet? Perhaps a quid pro quo - Olympics for a Free Tibet.
