Dalai Lama Says Diplomacy With Beijing Has Failed

By VOA News 03 November 2008

Tibet's spiritual leader, the Dalai Lama, says he is giving up on talks with China about autonomy, adding that his faith in the Chinese government is becoming "thinner and thinner."

He also said that suppression in Tibet is increasing and that he cannot pretend everything is OK.

China accuses him of secretly promoting Tibetan independence. The Dalai Lama says he seeks greater autonomy for Tibet to preserve its unique Buddhist culture.
