The perspective of the Tibet riots and the geopolitical motives and hidden sinister goals by the Dalai Lama's saffron rebellion to desstabiize China, and the dark forces behind, including the CIA, is analysed by Michel Chossudovsky of Global Research in the hyperlink below.
Mr. Chossudovsky is of the view that the human rights issue and the seeming clarion call of the Dalai Lama's for autonomy is just a pretextual.

Mr. Brzezinski is Barrack Obama's Svengali on foreign policy and is the "guru" behind much of BO's posturing about China and the sound bites coming out during this heated campaign season.
