Washington - The Dalai Lama and the US envoy for Tibet plan to meet later this month over the unrest in Tibet, the US State Department said Monday.
Undersecretary Paula Dobriansky will sit down with Tibet's spiritual leader April 21 in Michigan to discuss efforts to persuade China to open dialogue with the Dalai Lama aimed at ending the crisis, deputy spokesman Tom Casey said.
Beijing launched a crackdown last month against demonstrations protesting Chinese role of the province. The Bush administration has urged China to meet with the Dalai Lama.

The facade of Olympic values aside, meet the real China which has a clear agenda - 'expansionism' at all costs under the guise of peaceful liberation. Once a territory is gone, it's gone. There will be 1.3 billion brainwashed fools who will come here and defend war crimes of the CCP and brag about Xinhua as free press. If the West remains complacent, South-East, Australia, New Zealand, Pacific would be occupied or rather 'liberated' territories in a few decades. A $40 billion here and there, who cares, when the West can be played into giving away $1.5 trillion to the Chinese war machine.
@Rick
Shouting doesn't strengthen your argument. Why not give some fact-based proofs to expose those evil communists?
All you do is copy and paste the same exact propaganda of yours in you every anti-chinese post. You dont seem to care one way or the others. Just that same 'Ctrl + v'.
Oops... you are probably to dumb to do that. You probably have to right click, scroll up and find 'Paste', stead your finger and left click on it.
Why is it that so many support China? They are number one in executions (there where at leas 470 in 07, but we can't know the exact amount because it's a 'State Secret'), they commit human rights violations left and right, and they alter news and block websites that go against their agenda. so what I want to know is WHY?!?!?!?!

Were they protests or riots? The Youtube I saw made it look like LA after the Rodney King beating acquital. And there is the report from John Miles on the CNN which reports destruction of Han and Muslim Chinese stores while leaving the Tibetan owned ones. It makes a big difference if you think they were peaceful protestors, or as in the videos, rioters who were burning homes and stores, overturning cars and beating people on the street.
And don't be fooled by pictures and videos of Nepalese police (black and white camis) or Indian police (brown uniforms) clashing with monks. The
media have been mislabeling them.
