Dharamsala (HP): Hinting that he was planning to retire, the Dalai Lama has said he has “given up” on efforts to convince China to allow greater autonomy for Tibet after having led the Tibetans’ struggle for half a century.
“I have been sincerely pursuing the middle way in dealing with China for a long time now, but there hasn’t been any positive response from the Chinese side,” the Tibetan temporal head said at a function here Saturday ahead of the third round of talks between his envoys and Beijing.
“As far as I’m concerned I have given up,” said the 73-year-old noble laureate, according to excerpts of the speech of the Tibetan monk provided by the office of Karma Cheophel, Speaker of Tibetan Parliament in-exile.
