Tibetan Exile Prime Minister Sworn In

[sanjay]

This position should have been created a long time ago, so that the exile community could pursue Tibetan independence more aggressively:

The Dalai Lama fled into exile in northern India in 1959. The Indian government allowed him to establish the Tibetan government in exile in Dharmsala, setting up schools, hospitals and housing for the hundreds of thousands of Tibetans who fled China over the past five decades.

He said he would continue to work for the Tibetan people, and also promised to allow the exiled government's envoys to act in his name.

China – which has vilified him as a separatist troublemaker but dislikes the government in exile even more – is forcing him to remain involved. Chinese leaders have said they will only hold negotiations with his representatives.

Haha, now that there is somebody else besides Dalai Lama, suddenly China is very interested in showing preference for Dalai Lama.
