BEIJING  -- With the Dalai Lama persisting in his secessionist activities in foreign trips, the Chinese media has published commentaries and stories to expose his lies.

Since late May, the Dalai Lama has met politicians in Europe and spoke at a hearing held in the British House of Commons to examine China's record on human rights. He, once again, accused the Chinese government of a "crackdown" after the March 14 riot in Lhasa, and of continuing "cultural genocide".

The Dalai Lama told Britain, a former invader of Tibet 100 years ago, that Britain and Tibet have a long and great historical relationship. He also appealed for more support and attention on Tibet from the British.

In fact, the British Army invaded Tibet twice, once in 1888 and anther time in 1903, and occupied Lhasa in 1904.

The Guangming Daily in Beijing issued a commentary on this, questioning the Dalai Lama about his claims to "represent the Tibetan people". Both the Han and the Tibetan people had suffered foreign invasions. Now that China is finally free from that and is standing proudly in the family of nations, why is the Dalai Lama talking that way?

"He may be oblivious of his origins, but he is shameless in trying to become important with foreign backup," wrote the commentary.

Guangming Daily also said that the Dalai Lama has always been used international support as a card he can play against the Chinese government in his pursuit of Tibetan independence.

With his mind-soothing "no Tibet independence" claim, the Dalai Lama's recent lobbying isn't persuasive enough, given his constant use of words like "high degree of autonomy", "Greater Tibet" as well as his frequently putting Tibet on equal terms with China, according to the commentary.
