BEIJING: China’s state press on Monday accused the
Dalai Lama of “monstrous crimes,” keeping up its fiery rhetoric
against the exiled spiritual Tibetan leader despite agreeing to
maintain dialogue with him.
Chinese officials and two envoys
of the Dalai Lama met in southern China on Sunday for their first
talks in over a year following global pressure on Beijing to reopen
negotiations amid seven weeks of deadly unrest in Tibet.
But China, which has blamed the
Dalai Lama for the unrest that erupted in Tibet’s capital, Lhasa
on March 14 and spread to Tibetan-populated regions around the
country, showed no signs that the talks had changed its position.
“Following the March 14
incident in Lhasa, the Dalai has not only refused to admit his
monstrous crimes, but he has continued to perpetuate fraud,” an
article in Monday’s state Tibet Daily said.
