Collaborators with separatists targeted

Tibet authorities will strengthen the discipline of Party officials who hesitate to fight separatists - and who even collude with them - a senior official from the Tibet autonomous region discipline inspection commission said on Tuesday.

Tibet is regarded as a major battlefield in the fight against separatists loyal to the Dalai Lama.

Stricter Party rules will play an essential role in eliminating the problem, Wang Yongjun, director of the commission, said.
