China says 'open' for talks with Dalai Lama to discuss his future but not Tibet

China on Wednesday said it is "open" for talks with Tibetan spiritual leader the Dalai Lama to discuss his "future" but not any issues related to Tibet. In reality, too much control will harm people," said the Dalai Lama, who lived in India in exile ever since he fled Tibet in 1959 following China’s takeover of the Himalayan region. Asked for his reaction to the Dalai Lama’s remarks and whether Beijing will permit him to visit China or Tibet, Chinese Foreign Ministry spokesman Wang Wenbin told a media briefing here that Beijing is open for dialogue with the Tibetan spiritual leader. "What the Dalai Lama should do is to stop secessionist activities and take concrete measures to win the trust of the central government and the Chinese people," he said.
