Actually yes, western nations and a few eastern nations do indeed tolerate such protests because it is protected right to free speech and protest.
When China is stable and ready to truly join the rest of industrialized nations of the international community it is going to need to also protect these ideals as well. It's not suggesting that you must embrace these protests, not even close. But in as much as I dispise of people bitching about what they don't understand as if they do (ie tibet) I tolerate and will also stand up for their right to do so - on the same hand I will also call them out on their lies and ignorance.
