China warns Tibet party members not to harbor separatist 'fantasies' about Dalai Lama

BEIJING Wed Nov 5, 2014 3:44am EST

(Reuters) - A top Chinese official has vowed to severely punish members of the ruling Communist Party in Tibet who "harbor fantasies" about the troubled region's exiled spiritual leader, the Dalai Lama, state media said on Wednesday.

In a front-page article in the Tibet Daily, Tibet's party chief Chen Quanguo said China would stamp out any separatist inclinations.

Any thoughts on how unglued the western and NW Chinese interior provinces have become, thanks to the spread of jihad?

I don't really know unstable it is but the problems seem to be growing based on the accounts of regular incidents there. They seem to be getting bigger and Beijing has made no move to crack down hard. Yet.

China has many problems bubbling under the surface. I keep wondering what might happen if one problem got really serious would other fractures take advantage and press their issues robustly at the same time.
