Xinhua news is reporting that Zhang Qingli, a Shandong native who recently worked in Xinjiang, has been "elected" secretary of the "Communist Party of China (CPC) Committee of the Tibet Autonomous Region. Recently Mr. Zhang spoke with the German SPIEGEL Magazine where he claimed that the 1989 Nobel Peace Prize recipient Dalai Lama has "deceived his motherland" and "did many bad things later on that contradict the role of a religious leader." When the magazine metioned that "The Dalai Lama enjoys a great deal of sympathy in America, Europe and in Asia, also because the Chinese Communist Party is not particularly democratic," Zhang did not comment about the issue. Is a man who only speaks "a few words of Tibetan," well qualified for the job?
