Here we go again:

Does China's next leader have a soft spot for Tibet?

Good grief. When do the stories come out about how Xi Jinping loves jazz and laughs out loud watching I Love Lucy reruns?

What is it with the desire in so many to humanize and soften communist rulers who manage to claw their way to the top of the party pyramid?

Oh, and the answer is "no." Whatever his purported soft spot, Tibet will remain a colony of Peking.
