From AP:
The Tibetan government-in-exile said Saturday it has yet to receive a Chinese response to its request for autonomy presented by the Dalai Lama‘s envoys in a memo two months ago.
Samdhong Rinpoche, the prime minister of the government-in-exile, called the Chinese response “very funny” because they are “going around in Europe and America explaining their views” on the open memo.
Rinpoche was at an interfaith meeting in the Indian capital New Delhi, which was also attended by the Dalai Lama.
The memo — which was submitted by the Dalai Lama’s envoys during a meeting with Chinese officials in November — said Tibet does not seek independence, but wants meaningful autonomy to ensure the survival of the region’s unique Buddhist culture.
