The Last Chance for the Dalai Lama
Yi Yan, Yi Gu & Lao Lin , China View | July 4, 2008
The Dalai Lama seems to be more interested in fanning up international pressure on China than in talking seriously with the central government. ++ However, after the Olympics, his influence in the West will probably fade. ++ His concept of "high-level" or "maximum" autonomy cannot possibly be accommodated within the Chinese Constitution as it would mean the restoration of theocracy. ++ It is time for Dalai Lama to focus on the future of Tibet and respond to the central government’s attempts to negotiate.
