Traveling far to go nowhere

The Dalai Lama could only lament his helplessness over his separatist endeavor, says a commentary in Xinhua News Agency. The following is an excerpt:

During a European tour last month, the Dalai Lama said he really felt helpless because his "middle way policy" has failed to win support from his own people.

The Dalai Lama made the remarks when asked by the British daily, Financial Times, if he felt frustrated as he was losing support and influence.
