Beijing, August 29
Chinese President Xi Jinping has called for building a "new, modern socialist" Tibet, constructing an "impregnable wall" against separatism in the sensitive Himalayan region and "sinicisation" of the Tibetan Buddhism, the official media reported today.
Xi, also the general secretary of the ruling Communist Party of China, underlined the need to fully implement the CPC policies on governing Tibet for a new era. Tibet remains deeply devoted to Buddhism where the Dalai Lama is revered as the spiritual head.
While Beijing views the Dalai Lama as a separatist who seeks to split Tibet from China, the 1989 Nobel Peace Prize laureate says he only seeks greater rights for Tibetans' religious freedom and autonomy. — PTI
