These days, Tibetan independence groups are doing a good job of publicizing the issue of China’s occupation of Tibet. Good for them, we must say.

Do protest actions like the one in the video embarrass the Chinese government? Definitely yes. But will they embarrass the Chinese government to the point that it’s left with no choice but to leave Tibet? Very unlikely.

Still, didn’t a wise man say that tiny ripples can create tsunamis? So who knows what these ripples of protests can do for the Tibetan’s dream of independence. It might look unattainable in 2008 but it can very well happen in the years to come. Go Tibet!
