Canada appears to be the the first country to go on the record to condemn China’s latest crackdown in Tibet. According to the AFP:
Canada’s Foreign Minister Maxime Bernier on Thursday expressed “serious concerns” about China’s recent crackdown on protests by Tibetan monks. [...]

Well said, but we hope for and expect much more. Much more than just words, and from many more countries around the world.
Bonus points to the the first country that says, “If independence is good enough for Kosovo, why not Tibet?“
