Charting a New Course

Time: 2012/3/22

Chinese Premier Wen Jiabao spoke to Chinese and foreign media at a press conference on March 14, 2012, after conclusion of the Fifth Session of the 11th National People's Congress, China's top legislature. When asked Tibet, Wen said as fellowed:

We oppose the Tibetan clergy's actions when they take such radical measures as self-immolations to disturb and undermine social harmony. These young Tibetans are innocent and we feel deeply distressed by their behavior.

Tibet and the Tibetan-inhabited areas in the four provinces of Qinghai, Sichuan, Gansu and Yunnan are inseparable parts of China's territory. The so-called Tibetan government-in-exile in Dharamasala in India is in nature a theocratic one, either under the direct control of the Dalai Lama or under his indirect influence. Its purpose is to separate Tibet and the Tibetan-inhabited areas from China. We have a firm position and principle on this matter.

Tibet is still behind central and eastern parts of China in terms of economic and social development although it has made significant progress in these two respects over the past years. The Chinese Government has taken strong measures and drafted new plans to accelerate development in Tibet so as to improve its people's living standards.

The government should pay attention to protecting Tibet's eco-environment, culture and traditions while developing its economy. We should respect the Tibetan compatriots' freedom of religious belief and their religious belief is protected by law. We must treat all of our Tibetan compatriots with equality and respect and make continuous improvement of our work in this field.
