The facts show the Dalai Lama and his backers have been ruining Tibet in the name of religion and human rights, an article in yesterday's Guangming Daily newspaper claimed.
Its Tibetan author, Basang Wangdui, is a researcher with the Tibetan Academy of Social Sciences.
The Dalai Lama and his supporters, representatives of the feudal serf owners of old Tibet, have never done anything good for the Tibetan people in the past 50 years, he said.
In the late 1950s, the group attempted to split Tibet from the motherland with an armed rebellion, and after being foiled and fleeing abroad, perpetuated a decade-long military conflict in border areas, he said.

In the 70s, the group fabricated and spread rumors via Western broadcasts to instigate ethnic conflicts and violent confrontations, and instigated riots in Lhasa in the late 80s, Basang Wangdui claimed.
In the past few years, the Dalai Lama has promised again and again to renounce "Tibetan independence", but has never kept his word, he said.
The March 14 riots in Lhasa again exposed the Dalai Lama's hypocrisy in claiming peace and nonviolence, he said.
The criminal activities were against China's laws. No country that is committed to the rule of law would allow such behavior, Basang Wangdui said.
Under the leadership of the Communist Party of China, Tibet has moved away from the poverty and backwardness of the old times, he said.
While the Dalai Lama regards himself the "spokesman of the Tibetan people" and "guardian of human rights", he forgets how he trampled on the human rights of Tibetan people when he was a serf owner, he said.
Secessionists often told the international community that China killed 1.2 million Tibetans, but in the 50s, the total population was just 1.14 million, he said.
"If we follow the clique's logic, there would be no people living in Tibet today. So why does the region have a population of 2.8 million, of whom 95 percent are Tibetans and other minority ethnic groups?"
People should have a better understanding of Tibet's history, and not be duped by the Dalai Lama, he said.
