Dalai Lama can never represent Tibet: official

The Dalai Lama could “never represent the Tibetan people,” state media quoted Tibet’s Chinese-appointed governor as saying today, sounding a harsh note that contrasted with signs of a possible thaw between China and Tibet’s exiled spiritual leader.

Legqog also condemned the Dalai Lama’s visit last week to Mongolia, calling it “further evidence he intends to spread his separatist views in the international arena under the cloak of religion.”
