China’s Vice President Xi Jinping warned Tibetans against separatist activities after forces fired on rioters in the northwestern region of Xinjiang, underscoring the struggle to manage ethnic tensions.
China will fight against separatist activities by the “Dalai group,” the official Xinhua News Agency cited Xi as saying in a speech in Lhasa today, a reference to supporters of the Dalai Lama, Tibet’s exiled spiritual leader. The government will “completely destroy” any attempt to undermine stability in Tibet and unity in China, Xi said.
