Country’s leaders ‘don’t understand the variety of cultures’ and there is too much control by the main Han ethnic group
Tibet’s spiritual head, the Dalai Lama, criticised the leaders of China on Wednesday saying they “don’t understand the variety of different cultures” in the country and there is too much control by the main Han ethnic group.
“I know Communist Party leaders since Mao Zedong. Their ideas [are] good. But sometimes they do much extreme, tight control,” he said from his base in India, adding he thought things would change in China under a new generation of leaders. China seized control of Tibet after its troops entered the region in 1950 in what it calls a “peaceful liberation”. Tibet has since become one of the most restricted and sensitive areas in the country.
“Economically Taiwan gets a lot of help from mainland China,” he said. “And culture, Chinese culture, including Buddhism, I think mainland Chinese brothers and sisters can learn a lot from Taiwanese brothers and sisters.”
