Tibet "an internal issue" for China

President Hu Jintao has said that Tibet is an internal issue for China. He further commented onthe issue saying 'Our conflict with the Dalai clique is not an ethnic problem, not a religious problem, nor a human rights problem. It is a problem either to safeguard national unification or to split the motherland.' This further supports the thesis of my paper that Chinese think of Tibet a part of Chine and not an occupied foreign land.
