Must Have Heard That Wrong...

Lots of static on the hourly NPR news, and this _can't_ be right. What I heard was that Chinese officials have agreed to meet with the Dali Lama if he renounces violence.

Way I heard it, the Dali Lama offered to resign/renounce his title as Tibet's leader if China agrees to stop the violence.

Yeah, I heard that yesterday. This was a different news item.

NPR news analysts say that the Chinese government have been lambasting the Dali Lama for so long that they actually believe their claims that he's a hate mongering martinet.
