What I find amusing is Strafor's idea that the Tibet activity is the result of some coherent US Strategic Policy, sort of like the "color revolutions".

The whole idea that US and EU institutions can claim the credit for every color revolution is a stretch. Maybe people just got fed up with the local crooks and thugs who were too close to the Soviets besides being crooks and thugs. Maybe people want what the EU has to offer, freedom of movement and capital, a convertible currency, along with detailed regulations for every thing and maybe some degree of human rights and judicial standards.

Besides, isn't obvious that Barbara Streisand is a major foreign policy player ?

A few things missing from the analysis of China's defense interests : 1) Japan, a nation with a scary track record and over 50 tons of plutonium. The declining and aging population may have tamed Japan for a while...

Also no mention of the Koreas and VietNam, where two wars were fought on China's doorstep. Also two countries that at various times have been much closer to Russia than China. I'm sure our dear Russian friends have entertained the idea of a 3 front war on China, with movements for North Korea and South VietNam, with a major Russian drive to Beijing itself.
