Dalai Lama's Attempts to Separate Tibet From China Never Come True
An official of China's Foreign Affairs Committee of National People's Congress (NPC) commented in Beijing on October 27 that Dalai Lama's attempts to separate Tibet from China will never come true.
The official was referring to Dalai Lama's speech at the European Parliament (EP) General Assembly on October 24.
He said the Dalai's false assumption that "the Tibetan people rose up against the Chinese", is just like confounding black and white. His fond dreams of attempting to separate Tibet from the motherland will by no means come true.
The official said after the peaceful liberation of Tibet, the vast majority of Tibetan serfs earnestly wanted to smash the yoke of the feudal serfdom and to carry out the democratic reform.
He said that the Central Government adopted a very circumspect attitude toward the reform. In accordance with the 17-Article Agreement, the Central Government didn't use coercion to implement such reform, but allowed it to be carried out by the Tibetan local government of its own accord.
In 1957, the Central Government also decided that in the period of the Second Five-Year Plan (1958-1962), no reform would be carried out in Tibet, and whether to carry it out or not after that should be left to the Tibetan local government to decide, according to the official.
However, he pointed out, some members of the Tibetan ruling class were hostile to the reform and wanted to preserve the serfdom forever so as to maintain their own vested interests. Therefore, they deliberately violated and sabotaged the 17-Article Agreement and masterminded armed rebellion in certain areas in a bid to separate the motherland.
In March 1959, a handful of Tibetan serf-owners, colluding with foreign forces, mounted a general armed rebellion and advocated flagrantly the separatist slogan of "Tibetan independence".
With the support and assistance of the broad number of Buddhist monks and laymen, the People's Liberation Army (PLA) quelled swiftly the separatists' rebellion.
The Dalai Lama fled the country after the failure of his conspiracy and has since embarked on the road of confrontation with the Central Government and Tibetan compatriots.
This is what Dalai falsely described when he said that "the Tibetan people rose up against the Chinese" and "I had to escape from Tibet". Learning of the truth, one cannot but feel Dalai's attempts to confound black and white.
The official said, proceeding from the overall consideration of maintaining the unification of the motherland and national unity, the Central Government waited patiently for the Dalai's change of mind and return to the motherland after he fled Tibet.
His position as a vice-chairman of the Standing Committee of the National People's Congress had been kept for him until 1964.
However, the official pointed out, the Dalai Lama completely renounced the patriotic stand he once expressed, and engaged in numerous activities to split the motherland.
He publicly advocates that "Tibet is an independent state" and has never abandoned his stand of "Tibetan independence". He set up a "government in exile", established "branch offices" in many places around the world, tossed out "Principles for Nation- building", and formulated the so-called "Constitution of the State of Tibet".
He organized rebellion forces and plotted many violent riots in Tibet. He sent secret agents and intelligence personnel to carry out terrorist activities in Tibet. He spread rumors and calumnies and engineered other sorts of separatist activities.
He shuttled among foreign countries only to advertise the " Tibetan independence", trying to internationalize the so-called " Tibetan issue".
The official pointed out that what the Dalai Lama has done over the past 40 years shows he has done nothing to "serve the people of Tibet", but instead, he has done everything trying to regain his lost paradise. There he could re-enslave the Tibetan people and separate Tibet from the motherland. However, his dreams will by no means come true.
