From AFP:
China Thursday rejected accusations by a representative of the Dalai Lama that it was not serious about talks over the status of Tibet.
“The central government is sincere about holding contact with the Dalai side,” foreign ministry spokesman Liu Jianchao told reporters.
“Both sides have expressed their will to continue the contact.”
Kelsang Gyaltsen, an envoy of the Dalai Lama — Tibet’s exiled spiritual leader — said on Tuesday that Tibetans saw little point in the dialogue with Beijing, the last round of which ended at the beginning of the month.
