03/29/2008: "China claims Dalai Lama is separatist terrorist"

Across much of the Western world, the Dalai Lama is known as the beatific spiritual leader of a humble community of Buddhists, beloved in Hollywood, Congress and the White House, winner of the Nobel Peace Prize.

Chinese leaders cast him in a different light. They call him a separatist and a terrorist, bent on killing innocent Han Chinese and “splitting the motherland.”

[ This view on the Dalai Lama is just Chinese propaganda. The Tibetans know they couldn't take China on. ]
