Dalai Lama's remarks add to his mistakes

BEIJING - During his Japan tour the Dalai Lama said Sunday that the current situation in Tibet is "very sad" and the Chinese central government is handing down a "death sentence" to Tibetans. Such remarks confound black and white and disregard facts.

The Dalai Lama's remarks came at a time when China's central government is to arrange another round of contacts and negotiations with his private representatives.

The self-proclaimed spiritual leader, who betrayed his home country and fled Tibet in 1959, made a cliche-ridden statement when he said the current situation in Tibet is "very sad."

Having never made any efforts for or contributions to the protection and development of Tibetan culture, the Dalai Lama absurdly claims himself as "the protector of Tibetan culture."

The accusation of the so-called "cultural genocide" in Tibet and "death sentence" to Tibetans betrayed facts and were aimed at arousing concerns over Tibet to add weight to his separatist ambitions.

Despite the Lhasa riot in March this year and disruptions and sabotage of the Beijing Olympic Games by a handful of elements seeking "Tibet independence," the central government has agreed to hold contacts with private representatives of the Dalai Lama.

However, the Dalai Lama again played the trick of "retirement" and said he was disappointed about the talks with the central government and that the prospects for such talks would "become thinner and thinner."

Facts have shown that his "disappointment" was groundless.

During a meeting with the Dalai Lama's private representatives in July this year, the central government raised four requirements for the Dalai Lama to heed -- not to support activities to disturb the upcoming Beijing Olympic Games; not to support plots to fan up violent criminal activities; not to support, and effectively contain, the violent terrorist activities of the "Tibetan Youth Congress"; and not to support any argument and activity to seek "Tibetan independence" and split the region from the country.

The requirements of the Chinese central government have been concrete, simple, reasonable and explicit, which would have facilitated the contacts and negotiations to generate effective results if the Dalai Lama side had seriously carried out the promises.

By stressing his "disappointment" over the contacts and negotiations, the Dalai Lama deliberately adopted a pathetic posture only in an attempt to draw public attention and sympathy.

His "disappointment" also showed his reluctance to give up his stance to seek "Tibetan independence."

For the Dalai Lama, it is futile to play mean tricks and try to turn back the wheel of history.

Recognizing the irreversible situation, the Dalai Lama should stop repeating the mistakes and discard his fantasies. He should live up to his words in a bid to create a favorable condition for the contacts and negotiations between the central government and his private representatives.
