China to meet with envoys of the Dalai Lama
BEIJING - In a sudden shift, China agreed Friday to meet with envoys of the Dalai Lama, the Tibetan spiritual leader it accuses of instigating anti-government demonstrations in Tibet last month in an effort to scuttle the Beijing Summer Olympics.

The only way things will change in China is if the people force the change but I don't think it will happen because the people have been fed war and communism for too long that they only hold on to traditions and myths.
China's hate towards any religious body is more about a fear of losing political control. Communism and religion does not click well at all so if you start giving religious leaders a political voice that can spell trouble.
