Location: The Heritage Foundation's Lehrman Auditorium

The 50th Anniversary of the exile of the Dalai Lama focuses international attention on Tibet.  Just last year anti-government protests across the Tibetan Plateau led to violent crackdowns.  This year, Tibetans have boycotted celebrations of the Tibetan New Year in memory of the victims affected by that violent suppression.  The official dialogue to address these and other problems has shown no promise in recent years.  Can talks between the Dalai Lama and the Chinese government lead to real progress?  Join us for our own dialogue between a Tibetan and a Chinese on the future of Tibet.
