Which Dalai Lama to trust?
The Dalai Lama must show sincerity if he wants to talk to the central government, says Lung Chee-ming, a member of the National Committee of the Chinese People's Political Consultative Conference, in a signed article in Hong Kong-based Wen Wei Po. The following is an excerpt:
The Dalai Lama must not say one thing, think about another and do something else. He should stop all activities designed to divide the motherland, including planning and inciting violence in Tibet and disrupting or even sabotaging the Beijing Olympic Games, in order to create the right conditions for talks with the central government.
As the central government has said numerous times, the door to talks is always open for the Dalai Lama. The fundamental reason why such talks have made little headway so far is that the Dalai Lama lacks sincerity.
