'Tibetans open to talks with China'

DHARAMSALA, India — The Dalai Lama's office said Tuesday the Tibetan leader
was ready for the resumption of talks with China as suggested by US President
Barack Obama during his trip to Beijing.
"We are always willing to have talks with China and we hope both sides -- the
Chinese as well as the Tibetans -- are true to their intentions," Chime
Chhoekyapa, spokesman of the exiled Tibetan leader, told AFP.
He acknowledged that more radical Tibetan groups were against talking, but
said the Dalai Lama was committed to dialogue in his quest for "meaningful
autonomy" for Tibet from China.
In Beijing, Obama said the United States recognised Tibet as part of China,
but that Washington "supports the early resumption of dialogue" between the
Dalai Lama's envoys and Beijing.
Following foreign pressure, two envoys of the Buddhist monk met Chinese
officials in July last year for the seventh round of a dialogue process that
was started in 2002.
The July talks in Beijing followed an informal meeting in May last year, also
in China.
China in March this year said it was open to fresh discussions over Tibet with
the Dalai Lama but repeated demands for him to renounce "separatist"
activities, which the spiritual leader already denies.
"His Holiness the Dalai Lama has said we are not seeking separation or
independence" from Chinese rule, Chhoekyapa added, speaking by phone from
Dharamshala in northern India.
The Dalai Lama has been living in India since he fled Tibet following a failed
uprising in 1959 against Chinese rule, nine years after Chinese troops invaded
the region.

Most Tibetans have never accepted the Chinese occupation and certainly do not
see themselves as Chinese, Tibet is not Taiwan.
So many sufferings have happened the last sixty years, robbing Tibetan
identity is one of them.

The Dalai Lama is able to bring peace to Tibet, CCP should be happy with such
a great and peaceful leader.
