Which TIbet ain't. Plus, the 1-2 system is only valid for 50 years, it's not a permanent thing. Who knows what'll happen in 39 years in HK...?

As dda pointed out, Korea has been shunning the DL for years now.

Dalai Lama's return and a reasonable level of cultural and economic autonomy for Tibet -- "one country two systems", hey -- only makes sense, would be just, and would be very good for China in the long-run...
