‘Dalai Lama must correct his political propositions for talks’

Beijing, June 20: China on Thursday asked the Dalai Lama to thoroughly reflect and completely correct his political propositions for it to hold talks with him and asked the US to respect its sensitivity and importance to Tibet-related issues as Washington is set to pass a tough Tibet policy law.
On the central government’s contact and talks with the 14th Dalai Lama China’s policy is consistent and clear, Chinese Foreign Ministry spokesperson Lin Jian told a media briefing.
The key is that the 14th Dalai Lama must thoroughly reflect on and completely correct his political propositions, he said, without elaborating. China watched warily the high-powered US Congressional delegation’s visit to Dharamsala and its meeting with the 88-year-old Dalai Lama besides the strong remarks made by its leading members US House Foreign Affairs Committee chair Michael McCaul and former US House Speaker Nancy Pelosi questioning China’s policy towards Tibet and their call to Beijing to hold talks with the Dalai Lama.
