Slide Ten outlines a plan to solve the issue. This includes increased autonomy for TAR, increased religious freedom, cessation of the flooding settlers into the region, and official Tibetan recognition of China's present control of the area. This corresponds with proposals of the Dalai Lama, American ordained monk Robert Thurman and other Western analysts. The solution allows the Chinese government a way out of the messy situation they have created that saves face and retains their capacity to exploit Tibet's mineral resources, while at the same time eliminating the systemic human rights abuses.

The sources used for the presentation provided me with extensive information on the current situation and outlined the historical context of the events. The State Dept page in particular outline the abuses not only in Tibet but other Chinese abuses as well. The two sources that discuss solutions are directly mentioned in the description of that slide.
