HH said chinese leaders acknoeledge the problem and needs serious talk to solve the problem.

His Holiness the Dalai Lama has said that the Chinese leadership must acknowledge that there is a Tibetan problem and begin serious talks to resolve the issue.


H.H the Dalai Lama said he had already done everything possible from his side and whole world knew he was not asking for Tibetan independence,but Chinese Government continued to accuse him of being a "separatist.

H.H further clarified that he had “never asked all the Chinese to move out of Tibet", saying he only wanted “Tibetans [should] be the majority as that was essential for the survival of the Tibetan identity and he also said preservation of Tibetan culture remained his main concern. Repeating his earlier assertions, the Dalai Lama said “whether intentional or unintentional some sort of cultural genocide is taking place” in Tibet.

The problem, he said, was that “some narrow minded Chinese leaders only saw the Tibetan identity as a source of separation.”

During the interview, the Tibetan leader also recalled the commitment put forward by the then paramount Chinese leader Deng Xiaoping in 1979 that “except for the issue of independence everything else can be discussed and resolved.

H.H has said he hopes rounds of talks will bring some form of autonomy for Tibet within the People's Republic of China that would allow the Tibetan way of life to thrive
