@Simon:

Two words: You’re wrong.

If the Dalai Lama did not argue for de facto independence of Tibet and focused on the spiritual needs of his people, the there wouldn’t be any problems with China. Too bad he has only realized this last year.

Any religious oppression in China is always politically motivated. ie. Catholicism, Falun Gong (more like a cult lol), or Tibetan Buddhism.

I think the difference between China and Iran is that China has alot more social [and to some extent, religious] freedoms. Both lack political freedom.

Iran admits they have gay men and then they execute them. They executed a young boy (about 14 or 15 yrs. old) earlier this year along with several men.

This is a huge first step for China. Now if only Iran could admit that they have gay men.
