Wen Jiabao willing to open dialog with Dalai Lama
I’ve only been able to find this on China Digital Times, so I’ll refrain from posting until I hear more about this. So while most people would scoff at Mr. Wen’s comments about the Dalai Lama, this is actually pretty big. It’s a face saving statement that also creates an opportunity for both sides to make progress. However, I’m not going to write more until I get more information about what happened in Laos.
Edit: Haven’t been able to find much information about this at all. There was a single line at the end of a Guardian article and nothing on the BBC. Couldn’t find much on Google news either. I guess this wasn’t a breakthrough as I hoped it would be. Oh well, life goes on.
