Dalai Lama Warns Of 'Great Danger' Facing Tibetans

From the AFP:

DHARAMSHALA, India (AFP) — The Dalai Lama warned Sunday of the "great danger" facing the Tibetan people as he addressed leading exiles who vowed continued support for his policy of seeking greater autonomy from China.

"My trust in Chinese officials has become thinner and thinner," the Tibetan spiritual leader told nearly 600 delegates after a week-long review of the Dalai Lama's strategy towards Beijing.

"In the next 20 years, if we are not careful in our actions and planning, then there is great danger to the Tibetan community," he said in the exiles' base in the northern Indian town of Dharamshala.

On Saturday, representatives from the global Tibetan movement ended their meeting by backing the Dalai Lama's "middle way" policy of talks with Beijing seeking what they call meaningful, or greater, autonomy for Tibet.
