CHINA-TIBET: DALAI LAMA
|
A Global Times article of March 13, 20125, that is critical of the Dalai Lama and asserted that his "selfishness will be revealing", also quite interestingly said "The Chinese central government has been consistently paying respect to Tibetan Buddhism. One of the important signs is that the government recognizes the 14th Dalai Lama's title and accepts the fact that he is influential in the Tibetan region. This attitude has not changed no matter how committed he has been to splitting the nation". It added that the Dalai Lama, however, "shows no restraints on abusing his religious influence for political purposes".
