BEIJING — Envoys of the Dalai Lama, the spiritual leader of the Tibetans, arrived in China on Tuesday to resume a long-running series of negotiations over Tibet that have so far been fruitless.
The negotiations will be the ninth since 2002 between the Dalai Lama, whom China accuses of being a dangerous “splittist,” and the Chinese government, which has flooded large areas of Tibetan regions in western China with security forces since a widespread uprising there in March 2008.
The Dalai Lama, 74, who lives in exile, says he does not want independence for Tibetan regions but rather greater autonomy.
