China âcancelsâ Tibetan visit
China is reported to have cancelled a long-planned visit to China by members of the Dalai Lamaâs government-in-exile. The US-based Radio Free Asia reported that China had opposed the visit because some members of the delegation had engaged in what it described as âsplittistâ activities. "Splittist" being Chinese for "ungrateful people who want us out of their country". Neither the Dalai Lamaâs office nor the Chinese Foreign Ministry have commented on the report. China has ruled Tibet since it occupied the Himalayan region in 1951. Diplospeak for invasion, murder, etc. Posted by: Steve 2003-08-21 |
