Britain supports Tibet as part of China

Britain clears out the air of confusion about its stance and support towards the cause of Tibetan struggle that was though strongly dependent on the sole power of proof that was present in Tibet during the occupation of Tibet by the Chinese government. In response to the Premier David Cameron meeting with the Dalai Lama last year that offended the Chinese government, he has made a statement that Britain does not support the Tibetan state as an independent nation and recognize Tibet as a part of China. The smell of sole reason behind this statement comes out to the fact that they want a strong and healthy relationship with China which is highly beneficial for both the states!

Whatsoever reason this statement has behind it, it is a clear encouragement for the Chinese government in pressurizing all the officials across the world against the meeting the noble laureate the Dalai Lama and the practice of violating the human rights in Tibet which has resulted in endless number of Tibetan self immolation which till now tolls upto 120 people committing to it!

  

David Cameron "Let us be absolutely clear -- this government has not changed the long-standing British policy towards China and Tibet. We do want to have a strong and positive relationship with China, which I believe is in our mutual benefit. The Chinese government is aware of our policy on Tibet. We recognize Tibet as part of China. We do not support Tibetan independence and we respect China's sovereignty. When I spoke to Premier Li recently, we both looked forward to both countries working very closely together in the months and years ahead."

The meeting between Cameron, Deputy Prime Minister Nick Clegg and the Dalai Lama in London was part of the government's approach of seeking "dialogue and discussion and gathering a wide range of viewpoints on issues of importance", a spokesman for Cameron said Tuesday.

The spokesman added: "It is entirely reasonable for the prime minister to decide who he meets.

"The Chinese government always lobbies hard against any meetings between foreign governments and the Dalai Lama. We have made clear in advance to the Chinese government that British ministers will decide who they meet and when they meet them."
