Beijing: In a tough stand, Chinese President Hu Jintao on Saturday said China’s conflict with the Dalai Lama related to national unification was not an ethnic, religious or human rights problem and insisted that the barrier to talks was on the Tibetan leader’s side. Mr. Hu said: “Our conflict with the Dalai clique is not an ethnic problem, not a religious problem, nor a human rights problem … “It is a problem either to safeguard national unification or to split the motherland.” The firm message came during Mr. Hu’s meeting with Australian Prime Minister Kevin Rudd at Sanya in Hainan province where the two are among the leaders who have gathered for the annual meeting of the Boao Forum for Asia. On the dialogue with the Dalai Lama, he said the doors were open but added “the barrier to contacts and talks does not lie on our side, but on the side of the Dalai Lama. If the Dalai Lama has the sincerity, he should put it into action.” Plans remain: BushAmid calls for him to skip the opening ceremony of the Beijing Olympics, U.S. President George W. Bush has said he would attend the games in support of the American athletes while continuing to raise concerns with China about its crackdown in Tibet, a report from Washington said. “My plans haven’t changed,” Mr. Bush said in a television interview on Friday when asked if he was still insisting on going to the opening ceremony for the Olympics in Beijing. — PTI
