Li,
who is responsible for the Party's ideological work, said the exhibition exposes
the darkness, cruelty and backwardness of Old Tibet and the hypocritical face of
the Dalai Lama as a "human rights guardian," "missionary of peace" and
"spiritual leader."
The historic materials show that Tibet has been an
inseparable part of China since ancient times, as the Chinese central government
has exercised effective sovereign rule over Tibet, said Zhou, the secretary of
the CPC Central Committee for Political and Legislative Affairs.
