China Criticizes Dalai Lama

China heaped more criticism on the Dalai Lama and his followers on Sunday, accusing them of using empty words and concepts as a facade for their goal of independence. The editorial attacking the Dalai Lama in the ruling Communist Party's People's Daily newspaper was part of an ongoing campaign to blame the exiled spiritual leader for inciting recent anti-government protests in Tibet and neighboring provinces in western China. They had quite a bit to say about him, none of it flattering.
