Q & A for Interview with Ambassador Chai Xi by the Maltese Media on Tibet Issue and Beijing Olympics
By:mt.china-embassy.org
update:February 16,2009
 
Q: You say the Dalai Lama has orchestrated the unrest. Can you elaborate a little bit further? 
 
A: It is no coincidence that the incident in Tibet and neighboring provinces and attacks against Chinese diplomatic missions in Europe happened simultaneously. A number of major criminal cases have revealed links and shows it is a vital part of the "Tibetan People's Movement" organized by the clique and the "Tibetan youth Congress". Back in his visits last year to North America and Europe, Dalai has publicly and repeatedly preached "The Beijing Olympics might be the last chance for Tibet independence". In this regard, he did what he said further to fan disruption in the Olympic torch relay, revealing his real face in front of world people. 
 
Q: The Chinese Government is speaking against the "middle way" and "high degree of autonomy" put forward by the Dalai Lama. Isn't it an approach to resolve the Tibet problem? 
 
A: Facts speak louder than words the real motive of Dalai. After fleeing China, Dalai has established a so-called "government-in-exile" with so-called "national flag" and a "constitution", he himself was posed as so-called "head of state", which, explicitly calling for the creation of a "federal democratic republic" in Tibet. 
 
Disregarding the history, Dalai has called for the establishment of a "greater Tibet" that includes not only Tibet, but also Tibetan-inhabited areas in the neighbouring provinces. According to Dalai, the Han and other ethnic groups must leave this "greater Tibet", the central Government must not station troops there, and issues related to external relations must be handled by "greater Tibet" itself. By calling for such "true autonomy", Dalai is seeking nothing but "Tibet independence". 
 
It is an international consensus that Tibet has been an inalienable part of China since the 13th century. China will never compromise on any issue concerning its sovereignty and territory integrity. 
 
Q: We noticed the Dalai Lama has made many calls and statements on both the Tibet issue and the Olympics. How do you comment on that? 
 
A: Since March 14 the Lhasa riot, the Dalai Lama has been making "calls" and "statements" with several ill intentions in mind to compound right and wrong. 
 
The first is to distort facts. He is trying utmost to cover up his connection with the criminal riot by fabricating it as "peaceful demonstration". The second is to undermine the nation's ethnic unity, and to instigate ethnic conflicts. The third is to internationalize the "Tibet issue" to woo and instigate western countries to exert pressure on China. The fourth is to propagate so-called "high level of autonomy" in "greater Tibet" to seek "Tibet independence". 
 
The Tibetan separatist forces' attempt to disturb the Olympic torch relay once again proves Dalai has unshirkable responsibility. The so-called "calls" and "statements" are nothing but a disguise to stir up the situation.
