Matters concerning the Dalai Lama

Dalai Lama’s interaction with the Central Party goes smoothly

September 15, 2014

It appears as if the 14th Dalai Lama’s way home is no longer as far off. According to sources, Dalai Lama’s interaction with Beijing has been going smoothly in the recent past and Dalai Lama has expressed a strong desire of returning home. Beijing has also maintained a liberal attitude towards this and expressed that as long as they acknowledge that Tibet is a part of China and give up their separatist activities, all the Tibetans can come back to Tibet. Both sides are trying to come to an understanding, looking for a way out, trying to decide a course of journey and so on. Perhaps, in the near future, Dalai Lama will go to some important cities in the mainland and then to Wutai Mountain for pilgrimage, assumingly in the identity of a religious person and stay away from politics. If Dalai Lama goes back home, Beijing side will assign ministers, not below the rank of Politburo committee members to go and meet him.

As per information received, Yu Zhengsheng (Director of the CPPCC’s Ethnic and Religious Affairs Committee) plays a decisive role in these talks about Dalai Lama’s return home and Chairman Xi Jinping, whose father was friend of Dalai Lama, continues to be deeply concerned.
