China News Service, Beijing, July 29 (Reporter Liang Xiaohui) According to reports, US Secretary of State Blincoln met with representatives of the Dalai Lama in New Delhi, India.
Chinese Foreign Ministry spokesperson Zhao Lijian stated at a regular press conference on the 29th that China firmly opposes it.
China will take all necessary measures to defend its own interests.
Zhao Lijian emphasized that Tibet affairs are purely China's internal affairs, and no external forces are allowed to interfere.
The 14th Dalai Lama is not a purely religious figure, but a political exile who has long been engaged in anti-China separatist activities and attempted to separate Tibet from China.
China firmly opposes any contact between officials of any country and Dalai in any form.
The U.S.’s contact with the Dalai clique, no matter what form it takes, violates the U.S.’s commitment to recognize Tibet as a part of China, and does not support "Tibet independence" or activities to split China.
Zhao Lijian said that the United States should keep its promises, stop using Tibet-related issues to interfere in China's internal affairs, and stop providing any support to "Tibet independence" forces for anti-China separatist activities.
China will take all necessary measures to defend its own interests.
