Global Times blamed Dalai Lama for violence in Tibet

January 30, 2012 14:08

The State-owned Global Times, has denounced the Dalai Lama and blamed him for the outburst of violence last week in Tibet in which some Tibetans had been killed in police firing.

'Amid China's globalization, dissident groups which are active in exile take conflict as an opportunity to enlarge their political impact. Through modern communication technologies, they have imposed some influence on a small number of people in Tibet. Interest coalitions have appeared between Tibetans and those dissidents,' said the report. 'Reporters from the Global Times have conducted many in-depth reports in the Tibetan areas. They find that seeking prosperity and development is the most common hope of Tibetan people. Extreme political advocacies such as "independence of Tibet" and "high-degree autonomy" don't make sense. What folks care about is living happily. The demands of those self-immolating political extremists do not reflect reality.'
