With China broadening its economic influence in the world especially in Europe for a possible bailout package after the Brussels summit, Tibetan spiritual leader Dalai Lama on Friday lauded Beijing’s shift from the Marxist ideology towards capitalism and sought to strike a deal saying the Tibet issue can only be resolved through a bilateral process.
“Marxism is good. I also appreciate Marxism. But, it also good that China is now becoming a capitalist nation,” said the Nobel laureate at a function here marking the 76th foundation day of the Doon School.
Dalai Lama’s comments came at a time when European nations are seeking China’s help for Euro-zone bailout fund, a move which is likely to give the Communist nation more leverage in the world’s politics. And obviously, Dalai Lama was quick in seeking a deal with China by rejecting any outside help from the world powers to resolve the vexed Tibet issue.
He called for “meaningful autonomy” for Tibet through bilateral resolution within the framework of Chinese communist system in order to preserve its culture and religion. “There is a change. China is changing. We don’t want a separate Tibet. We want meaningful autonomy only in order to preserve our culture, language and religion,” said the Tibetan spiritual leader.
“The issue of Tibet should be resolved between China and the people of Tibet only. Outside powers can only influence the Tibetan cause,” he said.
Stating that there was a shift within the intellectual class of China over the issue of Tibet, he said more and more Chinese people are now supporting the cause of Tibet and showing their solidarity with Tibetans.
He also lauded a section of Chinese press for being critical of the government on the Tibetan issue. “I have found nearly 1000 articles in China which were not only support of Tibet but were critical of the Communist government,” he said.
Meanwhile, He also supported Anna Hazare’s movement against corruption.
