Tibet can be in China if it respects autonomy: Dalai Lama
Spiritual leader the Dalai Lama has said that Tibet can remain in China if it recognises and respects the region's autonomy and distinct culture. "Historically and culturally, Tibet has been independent. China took control...in 1950 in what it called a 'peaceful liberation'," he added. Notably, China claims that Tibet is a part of its mainland.
