Tibet 'has seen 50 yrs of freedom'

By Hu Yinan in Beijing and Peng Kuang in Lhasa | China Daily | Updated: 2009-03-11 07:45

Tibet government chief Qiangba Puncog dismissed the Dalai Lama's claim that more than 1 million Tibetans were killed in the "Tibetan genocide" during the past 50 years.

"What he said is totally nonsense and utter fabrication," Puncog, a National People's Congress (NPC) delegate, told China Daily before the third plenary meeting of the Second Session of the 11th NPC in Beijing yesterday.

March 10 marked the 50th anniversary of the foiling of an armed rebellion staged by the ruling class in Tibet to preserve serfdom and theocracy.
