BEIJING, April 5 (Xinhua) -- China said on Wednesday it will lodge solemn representations to India over the Dalai Lama's visit to the disputed border region.
Foreign Ministry spokesperson Hua Chunying made the remarks at a routine press conference, responding to media reports that the Dalai Lama, regarded by China as a political exile who has attempted to split Tibet from Chinese territory under the cloak of religion, arrived in the so-called "Arunachal Pradesh" for a visit on Tuesday.
Despite China's concerns, India persisted in arranging the Dalai Lama to visit the disputed zone in the eastern part of the China-India border area, severely damaging China's interests and China-India relations, Hua said.
"China firmly opposes this and will lodge solemn representations to India," Hua said.
