OPINION	
Dialogue Of The Deaf 	
To write off the Tibet unrest would be premature. There is much that could
follow the uprising in Lhasa. President Hu Jintao needs to read carefully
the writing on the wall. ... 
		Rajinder Puri 
 
 
Excerpt:
"...Beijing's clampdown on the Tibetan unrest has been inexplicably harsh.
Beijing's man in Tibet, Zhang Quingli, is a rigid hardliner. Under him the
state media in Tibet has described the unrest as a "life and death struggle"
between China and the Dalai Lama's followers. China's state-controlled media
has called the Dalai Lama a "wolf in monk's robes". The reason for such
hysteria is that the prestige of President Hu Jintao is involved. He was the
author of China's hard-line Tibet policy. That policy is not succeeding. But
its continuation is considered necessary in order to protect President Hu's
reputation."

This is aninteresting commentary--Joanna
