Instead of starting political reform, I think a boycott of the Olympics would probably do this:
- the Chinese Gov't blames the Tibetens for "sabatoging the Olympics"
- get everyone rallied up with their state controlled-media (like they did during the aftermath of the 1989 protests when CCTV broadcasted the trials of the arrested students)
- and then all bets are off; Tibet is unfairly "punished" for the Boycott
It's twisted logic, but then again, most everything the Chinese gov't does seems to be twisted logic.
In my opinion, countries need to talk directly with China, and tell them why what they are doing in Tibet is wrong.
