China Taking Baby Steps

The Chinese government has announced, today, that it will hold talks with representatives of the Dalai Lama about the situation in Tibet.

The announcement may be in response to international critics and threats of boycotts of the upcoming Olympic games in Beijing, yet it seems to be a step in the right direction. It may only be a baby step as we will have to see how the talks play out and if the situation itself actually improves. Any willingness to more towards compromise, though, is a good sign.
