It was widely published that as a lesson-learned from the SAS epidemic, PRC estimated a crisis management team to deal with unexpected events.
I think the current protest Tibet can serve as an opportunity to view how the team is working (or not working), some of the internal PRC mechanism in Crisis Management, and more importantly decision making process. Clearly, the central government was caught by surprise. One of the items noted during the recent China new year ice storm is that the Central Government failed to communicate to the locate level and the cold winter expertise and other resource of the Northern provinces were not utilized.
Many of us have strong and emotional feelings on the current event and there are different threads for them, I think it could be possible to analyze from an outsider’s perspective, given the importance of Tibet in Sino-India relations, and if the military option is to be used (hope not), it should give some hints on PLA’s current operational capabilities.
