Conventional wisdom on Tibet among Chinese officials is that when the current Dalai Lama dies, the Tibetan problem will be solved. China has tight control over the mountainous region and believes it holds all the cards. It can choose the Dalai Lama's next incarnation and that will be that. So Tibet-watchers have greeted with surprised interest the interview of a leading Chinese scholar on Tibet, published this month in a Hong Kong magazine. In the interview, for almost the first time in a generation, a senior government adviser suggests that China's Tibet policy of economic development with continued political repression is not working and needs changing. The official, Jin Wei, is no Tibetan-hugging softy. She is the director of ethnic and religious studies at the Central Party School, a think-tank in Beijing. The way China works means Jin's intervention must have been sanctioned by somebody near the top. Accommodation with the Dalai Lama is the Chinese government's only hope of ever reaching a deal acceptable to most Tibetans. Jin's proposals are in fact far more pragmatic than the hardline ideological approach to Tibet that has succeeded only in alienating a people China claims as its own.
