Unfortunately the people in power don't give a damn how much passive or even active resistance they face , they have the power to carry on regardless and they have the backers that will help them do it .I think that the Bhuddist Monks have done the most effective thing they could to oppose their repressive government-passive resistance.
It is not in Chinas interest to mess up their beneficial relationship with the junta and there is no movement within China abe to oppose their leaders policies .
Ghandi had success with his movement because Britain was getting massively diminishing returns from India , its power and influence were in serious decline , there was a healthy opposition in government and the people had a voice .
Since it is not in other countries interest to put sufficient pressure on China to force them to change policy they are not going to do it .
