The Dalai Lama is the spiritual head of Buddhism in Tibet, which China regards as its western province. More importantly for this issue, the Dalai Lama has become a symbol of claims for Tibetan independence, which the Chinese government naturally resists. The Dalai Lama has recently said that he no longer wants independence for Tibet and merely wants to negotiate a level of autonomy for Tibet, within sovereign China. He has also said that he sees economic benefits for the Tibetan people being citizens of China. However, the Chinese government remains suspicious of his real intentions and refuses to negotiate with him.
