China hopes Dalai Lama can 'return to right path', his team rejects preconditions

The Hindu  

China hopes the Dalai Lama can "return to the right path," and is open to discussions about his future as long as certain conditions are met, Beijing said on Monday, a proposal rejected by the Tibetan parliament-in-exile in India. The Dalai Lama needs to openly recognise that Tibet and Taiwan are inalienable parts of China, whose sole legal government is that of the People's Republic of China, Guo said, using the country's official name. "It is not feasible for His Holiness to tell lies, that's not going to happen," she said from the Indian Himalayan town of Dharamshala, where the Dalai Lama also lives. Teykhang, who was born in Tibet, said she was hopeful the Dalai Lama would be able to return home, led by efforts from people within China.
