German politicians have announced an escalation of  the chancellor's Tibet offensive. According to comments made by the Prime  Minister of Hesse, Roland Koch (CDU), Angela Merkel's meeting with the Dalai  Lama is only the beginning of large scale interference into China's internal  affairs, that also should incite other Western states to give up their  reservations. Berlin considers the moment particularly favorable for activities  to weaken Beijing, because as the host of next year's Olympic games, the  People's Republic is restricted in its capacity to retaliate.
