WASHINGTON:
A senior negotiator in talks with the Dalai Lama yesterday expressed strong opposition to the internationalization of the Tibet question, saying the issue involves China's sovereignty and territorial integrity.Sitar, vice-minister of the United Front Work Department of the Communist Party of China Central Committee, who is on a tour to the US, said he and his delegation were visiting the country "to introduce the real situation in Tibet to all sections of the American society".
"Some people are trying to interfere in the internal affairs of China and we'd like to make it clear to them, as well as the world, that the Tibet question is not about religion or human rights. It's about the sovereignty and territorial integrity of our country," Sitar told reporters at the Chinese embassy in Washington.
