BEIJING, March 18 (Xinhua) -- The door of dialogue still opens to the Dalai
Lama, so long as he gives up the position for "Tibet Independence", so long as
he recognizes Tibet and Taiwan as inalienable parts of the Chinese territory,
said Chinese Premier Wen Jiabao here on Tuesday.
"We can see clearly from these two key issues how hypocritical the Dalai
Lama is," said the Premier at a press conference upon conclusion of the annual
session of the National People's Congress, China's top legislature.
"I would like to ask, from the appalling incidents in Lhasa to similar
turmoil in other parts of China and the mobs to attack Chinese diplomatic
missions overseas, don't these conducts have nothing to do with the Dalai Lama?"
Wen questioned.
He noted, however, China's original proposition is still unchanged. "We
mean what we say," he said. "We need to watch what the Dalai Lama does. It is up
to his actions."
On March 14, violence involving beating, smashing property, looting and
arson broke out in Lhasa. There are ample facts proving the riot was organized,
premeditated, masterminded and incited by the Dalai Lama clique, Wen told
reporters.
