The Dalai Lama has accused China's rulers of creating a climate of lies, hypocrisy and imposing "immoral" censorship on its people.
Speaking to Archbishop Desmond Tutu via a radio link-up, the Dalai Lama said telling lies had become a way of life for those following totalitarian systems. He said the Chinese people had the right to know reality.
The Dalai Lama cancelled a planned trip to South Africa to join in Tutu’s 80th birthday celebrations because of the government's seeming reluctance to give him a visa for fear of straining ties with China.
