The 14th Dalai Lama and his followers should stop their secessionist activities in order to show their true love for Tibet, says an article in People's Daily. The following is an excerpt:
Tibet has been a region under the jurisdiction of the Chinese central government since the Yuan Dynasty that began its rule in 1271. Through Ming and Qing dynasties and after the People's Republic of China was founded in 1949, Tibet has remained as part of the country.
In history, Tibet has never been an independent State and there has been no country around the world that openly acknowledges the so-called "Tibet independence".
