Official: the Chinese people never allow other countries to interfere with internal affairs (5)

The Dalai Lama will not get along any longer without the support of certain foreign countries and forces.

Focus: Does the Communist Party of China regard the Dalai Lama as its political rival because of what he had said? Does the Party think that the Dalai Lama has challenged its monopoly?

Zhu: The Dalai Lama felt unhappy to see the CPC in power and he had been unhappy for 60 years. It was 50 years since he fled the country. Over the year, he did make some troubles for us, but he could never be a competitor or challenger. Do you thins a political party like the CPC would fear the competition and challenge of a lama who represents feudal serfdom. If people like the Dalai Lama could become a competitor or challenger to us, the Party and the country would not get where they are today. The Dalai Lama could not be comparable with the real difficulties and rivals we had encountered.

As for the troubles the Dalai Lama had created, it was not because of his own capability but some foreign countries and forces that supported him. Those countries and forces provided the Dalai Lama with propaganda platforms, funds and various titles. And they spared no pains to do it. With those supports, the Dalai Lama could not get thing going for any longer. A In a good example of the support, the congress of a certain country approved a 16.75 million-U.S.-dollar financial support to the Dalai Lama group this year.

Focus: Which country?

Zhu: I do not want to mention the name of any third country because our dialogue today is between the Chinese and German people. Against the backdrop of the global financial crisis, the fund is 25 percent more than 2008, which I'd like to say was provided at all costs. And it is only a tiny part of the financial support that some countries and forces had offered to the Dalai Lama. However, it is just because of the support that the Dalai Lama could not have a correct judgment of his status and future, and had made a series of wrong judgments and decisions. The support also made it hard for him to improve relations with the central government and kept him farther from going back home. In fact, the support had led the Dalai Lama into a trap.

Focus: The two sides should make a compromise to each other before they could continue the talks. What kind of compromise that China is willing to make for the resumption of contact and talks with the Dalai Lama's personal representatives?

Zhu: After the Dalai Lama firmly ceased the talks with the central government for twice, we still said that the door to the talks is open. This demonstrated great sincerity. Some people blamed us for not talking about "substantive issues". Actually we talked about substantive issues every time. What the Dalai Lama's personal representatives had claimed were issues that jeopardize the country's unity, national solidarity and the future of Tibet. We have firmly rejected and criticized those claims. Aren't those substantive talks? In fact, the Dalai Lama side has never made any substantive compromise, and he was just turning "Tibet Independence" into "semi-independence" and "covert independence" under different disguises.
