US Ambassador Comments on China's Tibetan Policies
BEIJING -- Following a series of self-immolation protests, the U.S. Ambassador to China is speaking out on Beijing's policies toward Tibetans. In an online Town Hall Meeting with citizens in cities across the United States, Gary Locke also spoke about his trip last month to Tibetan monasteries.

"We implore the Chinese to really meet with the representatives of the Tibetan people to address and re-examine some of the policies that have led to some of the restrictions and the violence and the self-immolations, and we are very concerned with the human rights condition here in China," said Ambassador Locke.

Senior Chinese officials have rejected calls to meet with the Tibetan spiritual leader the Dalai Lama or with authorities from the Tibetan exile government based in northern India.

#1 Iff a shooting war breaks out between China + Japan in the East China Sea oer the Daoyus/Senkakus, or between China + US oer Taiwan or the Daoyus/Senkakus, Americans should not be surprised iff China decides to use the PLA to also settle its issues wid India.

Ditto as per the Philippines, Vietnam + ASEAN in the SCS.
