A peaceful resolution of Tibet’s struggle for greater freedom under Beijing’s rule must be accomplished soon if the Tibetan and Chinese people are to avoid open confrontation and violence in coming years, a senior Tibetan exile official said this week.

“The quest for a peaceful resolution through non-violence and dialogue is no doubt a very tough and challenging task,” Kelsang Gyaltsen, special representative to Europe of exiled spiritual leader the Dalai Lama, told a Sino-Tibetan conference in Hamburg, Germany, on Wednesday.

“But it is also clear that Tibetans and Chinese would have to pay a much higher price in terms of human suffering and political turmoil when this quest is abandoned.”

“The sad state of affairs in Tibet—if left unattended any longer—represents the breeding grounds for violence and bloodshed in future,” Gyaltsen said, adding that grievances, despair, and emotion may someday “spiral out of control” under the pressure of continuing abuses by China.
