Advertiser reports that a version of the Akaka bill could be up for a vote on the floor of the U.S. House next week, and that “Hawai’i’s congressional delegation is close to reaching compromise language designed to satisfy both state and federal attorneys.” A vote in the Senate remains uncertain, since 60 votes will be needed to overcome a block (threat of filibuster) and the Dems lost their 60th seat with the election of Scott Brown in place of the late Edward Kennedy.

Update 2/21: Lynette posted some photos of the event. In the Huffington Post, Fred Teng has a piece on U.S.-China relations and Pres. Obama’s visit from the Dalai Lama, and in it he makes the comparison between Hawaii and Tibet:
The Chinese government is well aware of the history and situation in Hawaii. It has diplomatic implications in this situation with the Dalai Lama. Update 2/18: China Daily quotes the above excerpt from Teng in an article on the Dalai Lama’s visit. Update 2: Kuhio has some good reflections on the event, comparing it to another event in August, with observations on what makes a successful action, and also ponders a question Hawaiian nationality… very worth reading.
