Dalai Lama: China aims to annihilate Buddhism
http://news.yahoo.com/s/ap/20100310/ap_on_re_as/as_india_tibet

DHARMSALA, India – The Dalai Lama lashed out at China on Wednesday, accusing it of trying to "annihilate Buddhism" in Tibet and rebuffing all his efforts to reach a compromise over the disputed Himalayan region.

China shot back, accusing the Tibetan spiritual leader of using deceptions and lies to distort its policy in the region.

_-------------------------------

It seems that HH has spelled out his concerns with China's policy toward Tibet. China does not seem to be able to retort on any level..

1. China is like the Republicans. It doesn't have to make logical or reasonable
arguments defending a position. Bully behavior.

5. Very much so - I think it would be very helpful
All I can think of is the Chinese claiming that religion is "poison", and therefore karma is some sort of health hazard.
I understand that China claims Tibet as a state. I understand that Buddhism makes this claim difficult to sell to the world.

So please, if the Dali Lama is lying, lets hear what the lies he keeps telling are. What are these lies China is accusing him of? They say that he lies, but never say what was false about what he said.
