Dalai Lama: Serious allegations against Olympic host China

The Olympic Winter Games in Beijing will begin in February 2022. A boycott is discussed again and again. Now the Dalai Lama is also making a statement.

Tokyo – The Dalai Lama stands for gentleness, mildness and kindness. But that does not mean that the spiritual leaders of Tibet shy away from critical words. A few months before the Olympic Winter Games in Beijing (February 4 to February 20, 2022), the 86-year-old accused the host country of “not understanding different cultures”.

The Dalai Lama took part in an online press conference in Tokyo on Wednesday (November 10th, 2021), where he raised the question of whether the international community is considering the boycott of the 2022 Olympics in connection with the suppression of minorities in western Xinjiang should pull.

But sometimes they exercise very extreme and strict controls, ”said the Dalai Lama, who lives with the Tibetan government-in-exile in Dharamsala, India, a city in the Himalayan foothills.

“Tibet and Xinjiang have a unique culture,” said the Dalai Lama, who ascended the throne in Tibet as a young boy on February 22, 1940. “Unfortunately, narrow-minded Chinese politicians do not understand other cultures.” In China there is not only ethnic Han -Groups, but also other, different groups: “In fact, the Han Chinese exercise too much control.”
