Amid Brickbats From China’s Government, Tibetans Will Ponder a New Strategy deals with the issues between China and Tibet. The lead sets a powerful scene, “As the flames on anti-Chinese riots and protests engulfed many Tibetan areas of western China last spring, soldiers send to the towns and villages of the deep river valleys around here encountered nothing but silence.” This lead effectively sets the scene and the feel for the situation between Tibet and China.
The article deals with the Dalai Lama’s goal of Tibet’s autonomy from China in a peaceful manner. This has become difficult because China is refusing to cooperate. There are some groups forming in Tibet that want a more radical approach to the issue.
The article is good at giving background to the current issue, but at times I felt myself getting a little confused. I think it would have been clearer if the article organized its background information more clearly, and defined certain things better.
The article’s main focus is a meeting that the Dalai Lama will hold in India regarding the matter. I felt that the article also did a great job at painting the scene in Tibet. The article states the many restrictions the Chinese government is putting on Tibet. The reader gets the feel that the article is very pro-Tibet and anti-China.
Overall the information was presently clearly. The one aspect I would change was the information regarding the history of the two countries.
