Tibet’s spiritual leader, the Dalai Lama, said on Thursday the European Union should offer “constructive criticism” of China.

Speaking at the European Parliament in Strasbourg, he said he hoped that the Tibetan issue would be resolved but urged the outside world and the European Union in particular not to hold back from criticizing Beijing.

Communist troops marched in and took control of Tibet in 1950 in what Beijing calls a “peaceful liberation”. The Dalai Lama fled to India in 1959 following a failed uprising against the Chinese.

“Some constructive criticism is sometime necessary, helpful,” the Dalai Lama told reporters.

Beijing denounces the Dalai Lama as a dangerous separatist who wants an independent Tibet. He denies espousing violence and says he only wants genuine autonomy for his Himalayan homeland.

Contact between the Dalai Lama and foreign governments is frequently a source of friction with Beijing. Although a guest of the European Parliament in Strasbourg, the Dalai Lama did not meet French government officials while in France.

  Good God, you’re lousy troll. What do Stalin and/or Putin have anything to do with the Dalai-Lama crook? Tibetans have their issue with China, not Russia.
  
  But since you brought up Stalin, what about the European-Jewish-bankers funded degenerate Bolsheviks, Marx’s and Communism unleashed on Tsar-Russia to destroy the country, its industry in order steal its natural resources? What about the millions of death of Christians that derived from it?
