China and Tibetan Self-Immolations

So, according to my count from various sites, Tibetan self-immolations hit 100 last year.  According to this article the number is approaching 100.  But more importantly look at what the Chinese are doing in response to Tibetan self-immolation.  Over 70 arrests of people who are inciting the self-immolations and continued denunciation of the Dalai Lama, apparently this is the best the Chinese can do.

Here's my two cents.  The Chinese government might want to investigate why 100 people were willing to set themselves on fire.  The Chinese government might find that some policies can be altered in ways that change the socio-econonomic and socio-political landscape in Tibet.  Policy might even be changed without the Chinese government losing control of the territory.
