China:Internal Unrest

After days of violence the Chinese government has given a deadline to protesters. A BBC article covers:

"The authorities in Tibet have given anti-Chinese demonstrators until Monday to surrender, following violence that officials say left 10 people dead. "

The protests are beginning to gain international attention as more reports come in of increased casualties. I think an interesting aspect of this event is to pay attention to how the world reacts politically. The Olympics are scheduled to take place in China, but it seems problems continue to spring up as time gets closer to the games start. I think countries around the world will be forced to downplay their own politically opinions due to the Olympics. China has some serious internal issues to clear up before it can host these Olympic games, but if the international community strikes out at China there may be future consequences. We will have to watch and see exactly how the international community reacts over the next few days as it may have a everlasting result on our future games.
