The discussions, held at an undisclosed location in Beijing, are the second round of formal talks since March, when anti-Chinese protests erupted in Lhasa, the capital of Tibet, and spread to Tibetan regions of western China. The precise agenda is unknown, but the two sides have sharp differences over the political status of Tibet and the possible return of the Dalai Lama, the exiled Tibetan spiritual leader.

The Chinese better get on with this one.

They are never going to have someone as peace loving as the current Dalai Lama. The biggest reason why there is not more violence is the steadying hand of the Dalai Lama.
