Chinese political advisors: Dalai Lama not harmony promoter but trouble maker

However, the Dalai Lama said Tibet's religion, along with culture, language and identity, is nearing extinction in his Tuesday speech.

"We won't buy the Dalai Lama's words. What we need to do now is to safeguard the achievements in Tibet over the past decades," said Jin Wei, acting general secretary of the Young Men's Christian Association of China National and also a CPPCC National Committee member.

"The Chinese central government is criticized by some people for abolishing serfdom in Tibet, but Abraham Lincoln is revered for emancipating black slaves. That's really unfair," Jin said.
