Regardless, China wouldn't change anything even if we did so all we would be doing would be meaningless posturing. Also, Tibet isn't 100% innocent. Not that what China has been doing is anywhere near right, but it isn't like the protesters in Tibet are being peaceful. I can't find it right now, but I have read stories of Tibetan protesters attacking Chinese civilians in the area. Its hard to find unbiased journalism about it. It is all so completely anti-China.
