Tibet problems stems of economic hardship. I think monetary policy will tighten.

You just have to look at the stock chart to know where it is going. No stock market in the world can do such a stunt without wrecking the local economy at least for a while.

The riots in Tibet are a sideshow. More of a PR problem than anything else. Does anyone think that a major trade partner with China would risk their displeasure by boycotting the Olympics or pushing for Tibetan independence?

The Chinese will do their very best to maintain a normal face leading up to their coming out party. After that, we will see how things turn out.

Is the price China is demanding the US public approval of Chinese actions in Tibet? I see in the MSM that China has asked for such support.

How many people are we willing to let die so we can get cheep junk at Wal-Mart and Toys-R-Us? Pathetic. :mad:

I don't think it is due to trade ties. I think no one wants to be seen politicizing the Olympics, as you can see even the Dalai Lama tries to distant himself from the protests. Not doing so is political suicide.
