However, the EU's Slovenian presidency said the 27-nation bloc had not yet agreed on a joint declaration, although a presidency statement -- which carries less political weight than summit conclusions -- might be issued in the next three days.
Slovenian Foreign Minister Dimitrij Rupel said consultations were under way on a statement that would "urge the Chinese government to address the concerns of Tibetans with regard to issues of human rights" and call for dialogue between Beijing and Tibetan representatives.

The Chinese government will probably keep the force used at a moderate level, and might just try to blocaked and squeeze the protests withouth needing to get too violent because of the Olympics, but I don't think that they will bend too far, and if they think the protests might get really serious, I think the Chinese leadership might just say "screw it" and crack down hard.If you don't like reality, change it! me

What do you think will have an effect?Christianity: The belief that a cosmic Jewish Zombie who was his own father can make you live forever if you symbolically eat his flesh and telepathically tell him you accept him as your master, so he can remove an evil force from your soul that is present in humanity because a rib-woman was convinced by a talking snake to eat from a magical tree...Comment

Hey! I'm asking the questions here!!
j/k, I don't think anything we are prepared to do would have an effect in stopping/preventing China from continuing to assimilate Tibet. Hence my sarcasm. As I said earlier we will voice our concerns but we decided a long time ago that trade trumps rights wrt China. There's just too much money to be made."I have never killed a man, but I have read many obituaries with great pleasure." - Clarence Darrow

China has us by the scrotum. Anything we could do to make them sit up and take notice would come back to hurt us.Christianity: The belief that a cosmic Jewish Zombie who was his own father can make you live forever if you symbolically eat his flesh and telepathically tell him you accept him as your master, so he can remove an evil force from your soul that is present in humanity because a rib-woman was convinced by a talking snake to eat from a magical tree...Comment

You overestimate China's hold on the US. The real issue is what the US has to gain or lose from intervention. And there is no gain.“As a lifelong member of the Columbia Business School community, I adhere to the principles of truth, integrity, and respect.

Plus if we were going to do anything to China ever, it would have been when they were holding Americans hostage.I make no bones about my moral support for [terrorist] organizations. - chegitz guevara
For those who aspire to live in a high cost, high tax, big government place, our nation and the world offers plenty of options. Vermont, Canada and Venezuela all offer you the opportunity to live in the socialist, big government paradise you long for. –Senator RubioComment

Instead of Free Tibet, you should say, Self-Determination for Tibet. Maybe Tibet doesn't want to be independent.Christianity: The belief that a cosmic Jewish Zombie who was his own father can make you live forever if you symbolically eat his flesh and telepathically tell him you accept him as your master, so he can remove an evil force from your soul that is present in humanity because a rib-woman was convinced by a talking snake to eat from a magical tree...Comment
