BEIJING, March 13 (Xinhua) -- The Dalai Lama can change his course, but he can never deny what he has said in the past, Chinese Premier Wen Jiabao said here Friday.
Commenting on the Dalai Lama's claims that he has never asked Chinese troops and the Han ethnic group to be out of Tibet, Wen said, "These are sheer lies."
The Dalai Lama demanded, in his "five-point peace plan" in 1987 and the "seven-point new suggestions" in 1988, the Chinese troops and military facilities be withdrawn from Tibet. He also demanded to stop the Han ethnic group from settling in Tibet, and that those who have already settled in move out.
"Those are all written words. The Dalai Lama can change his course. But he can never deny what he has said," Wen said.
Dalai Lama's utter distortion of Tibet
history
BEIJING, March 10
(Xinhua) -- On March 10, 1959, the Dalai Lama and his supporters started an
armed rebellion in a desperate attempt to preserve Tibet's feudal serfdom and
split the region from China.
On Tuesday, exactly 50 years later, the Dalai Lama claimed
that Tibetans have been living in "hell on earth," as if the Tibet under the
former feudal serfdom ruled by him were a heaven.
Playing with outside forces,
"religious figure" stakes heavy on de facto
secession
BEIJING, March 9
(Xinhua) -- As the anniversary of his exile approaches, more evidence has
surfaced that the Dalai Lama and his followers have pursued a long road of
splitting up the homeland despite allegations of the "nonviolent" middle way.
Explicitly acknowledging his "middle way" of nonviolence a
failure, the 73-year-old Tibetan Buddhist warned the Chinese government of
possible future confrontations in the Himalayan region. Full story
Dalai by no means a religious figure,
but a political one
BEIJING, March 7 (Xinhua) -- The Dalai Lama is "by no
means a religious figure, but a political figure," Chinese Foreign Minister Yang
Jiechi said here Saturday.
The Dalai Lama and his followers insist to establish the
so-called "Greater Tibet" on one quarter of the Chinese territory. They want to
drive away the Chinese armed forces deployed on its own territory, and all the
Chinese people of other ethnic groups who have been living in Tibet for
generations, Yang told a press conference on the sidelines of the annual
parliamentary session.
Dalai Lama is not qualified for
talking about human rights
BEIJING, March 6 (Xinhua) -- As the most unstable element
for Tibet and representative of serf owners, the Dalai Lama is not qualified for
talking about human rights, said a senior official here Friday afternoon.
"There is no historical evidence or present ground for the
so called 'Greater Tibet' and 'high degree of autonomy', which are also against
the will of the Tibetan people," Qiangba Puncog, chairman of the Tibet
Autonomous Region, told a press conference on sideline with the annual session
of the National People's Congress (NPC).
