The 14th Dalai Lama is a political exile, who for a long, has been engaged in separatist activities and attempted to separate Xizang from China under the cover of religion, Mao alleged.

China’s position on Tibet-related affairs is consistent, Chinese Foreign Ministry spokesperson Mao Ning told a media briefing here. The 14th Dalai Lama is a political exile, who for a long, has been engaged in separatist activities and attempted to separate Xizang from China under the cover of religion, Mao alleged. China refers to Tibet as Xizang.
“India should fully appreciate the great sensitivity of Xizang-related issues and recognise the anti-separatist nature of the 14th Dalai Lama and honour the commitment it made to China on issues related to Xizang,” she said.
India should act and speak prudently and stop using this issue to meddle in China's internal affairs, she said, adding that “China has protested to the Indian side” on the matter.
