China on Monday said it has lodged a protest with India over Prime Minister Narendra Modi’s birthday greetings to the Dalai Lama, who marked his 90th birthday on Sunday.
The Tibetan spiritual leader recently said his successor will be born in the “free world” — outside China, prompting a swift rejection from Beijing, which maintains it alone has the authority to approve the next Dalai Lama.
Modi was among some countries’ dignitaries who sent birthday wishes, saying the Dalai Lama has “been an enduring symbol of love, compassion, patience and moral discipline.”
In response, Chinese Foreign Ministry spokesperson Mao Ning reiterated Beijing’s stance that the Dalai Lama is “a political exile engaged in anti-China separatist activities.”
“The Indian side should fully recognize the high sensitivity of Tibet-related issues, see clearly the anti-China separatist nature of the 14th Dalai Lama, honor its commitments on Tibet-related issues, act with caution, and stop using Tibet-related issues to interfere in China’s internal affairs,” Mao said at a daily news briefing.
