If the Tibetan would convert to Islam, then the Chinese would have themselves a problem. As it stands, the Tibetans don't have enough friends in high enough circles to make a difference. The Bush administration has never paid any real attention to the Chinese for anything beyond trade issues, and they aren't going start anytime soon. There doesn't seem to be anyone in Congress right now willing to be a Tibetan champion, so this will remain an internal Chinese issue.
