In 1959, Tibet began a failed uprising against the PRC. Now, 49 years later, it looks like another uprising against communist rule is taking place, taking advantage of the 2008 Olympics as a backdrop. Will events with the PLA be a sad replay of 1959? Or could the Tibet uprising of 2008 set in motion events that result in Tibet and other regions (Urgurs in Xinjiang, India's disputed area of Tibet, Taiwan declaring independence) finally and completely breaking with Beijing, in a manner similar to the collapse of the Soviet Union in 1991? This talk will include an overview of the current situation between China and its regions with predicted outcomes for conflict and how these could effect the world in the years to come.
