China and the Dalai Lama

Monday, 24th March 2008


"The Dalai Lama is a  great and charismatic spiritual figure, but a poor and poorly advised political strategist."  Patrick French - a former director of the Free Tibet Campaign - believes the country's exiles should be pursuing back-channel diplomacy with Beijing. The high-profile "Hollywood strategy" hasn't worked, he says.
