My 2 yuan.

It was widely published that as a lesson-learned from the SAS epidemic, PRC estimated a crisis management team to deal with unexpected events.

I think the current protest Tibet can serve as an opportunity to view how the team is working (or not working), some of the internal PRC mechanism in Crisis Management, and more importantly decision making process. Clearly, the central government was caught by surprise. One of the items noted during the recent China new year ice storm is that the Central Government failed to communicate to the locate level and the cold winter expertise and other resource of the Northern provinces were not utilized and the crisis management team did not perform as well as it was hoped.

Many of us have strong and emotional feelings on the current event and there are different places to express them, but I think it could be possible to analyze the Tibet protest from an outsider’s perspective

Have you read this article, it is very interesting in how Britain deals with its colony Northern Ireland against IRA.

Maybe China can learn some lessons from the British experience.
 
Thanks.

I too have a strong opinion in this matter, but I am trying to distance myself from politic and focus on military affairs.
