More than 30 Chinese students were at the Chinese embassy to welcome the three Tibetologists. The scholars answered the students' questions on religion, culture, history, economy and other issues of the autonomous region.

The delegation said there was no religious freedom under the old Tibet's serfdom. Tibetan people had their political rights only after democratic reform in 1959. The Dalai Lama clique has been trying to cover the truth of their splittist plots. The so-called "Tibet Issue" reported by the western media only seeks to weaken China and split Tibet from the country.
