Dalai Lama visit stirs Taiwan China tensions during 10 day stop
The Dalai Lama began a 10 day Taiwan visit amid China sensitivities over Taiwan independence and Tibet relations. He nibbled cookies at a news conference denying he plots with Taipei to split China and invited Beijing observers to monitor his activities. He meets President Chen Shui-bian and former leader Lee Teng-hui amid ongoing cross strait strains. Taiwan seeks cautious dealings with Beijing as Chen tones down independence rhetoric. The Dalai Lama praised Chen for handling China ties and avoided taking a stand on independence, noting that notions of independence and sovereignty may be outdated in globalization.
