Continuing its tirade against the Dalai Lama, a state-run Chinese website has accused him of being "sponsored" by the US to "trick" Tibetans to carry out anti-Beijing activities.

A commentary carried by www.tibet.cn also recalled that the exiled Tibetan spiritual leader had claimed in November 22, 2009 that he was a "son of India" and that "India was better qualified for Tibet's sovereignty".

The commentary carried seven questions and answers relating to the Dalai Lama said, "To be filial to his "father", Dalai frequently exclaimed that the Lhoka Prefecture (located close to Arunachal Pradesh) in Tibet belongs to India. He even said that India was better qualified for claiming Tibet's sovereignty", it said.

It also accused that the relatives of the 76-year-old Dalai Lama were working for the CIA.

"He always plays tricks under the cover of doing good for Tibetans. It is doubtable that the Dalai Lama would speak on the behalf of Tibetans as he is sponsored by the US and his relatives work for Central Intelligence Agency", it said.

"The Dalai Lama is the largest serf-owner in the old Tibet. He enjoyed the obedience of officials and owned all land, livestock and serfs", it said.

"As for lives of the Tibetan communities in exile, they live in poverty and misery which can not be compared with their counterparts in China. It is doubted whether the Dalai Lama could repay them", it said.

The commentary, is part of a spate of critical remarks against the Dalai Lama in recent months, which witnessed about 30 self immolation attempts by Buddhist Monks calling for his return from his exile in Dharmasala.

Accusing him of encouraging the self-immolations, the website said, "Dalai Lama always says that he admires the courage of those who have died in self-immolation incidents and he will pray for them".

"To win the chance of being prayed by the Dalai Lama who has special religious status, his followers are in no doubt required to imitate their 'examples'", it said.

The commentary also criticised him for asking Tibetans to not to celebrate this year's Tibetan New Year as a mark of respect for those who committed self immolations.

"The Dalai Lama called on Tibetans not to celebrate Losar (Tibetan New Year) so as to memorise "the fallen heroes of Tibet" in Dharamsala India on February 22", it said.

The Dalai Lama is deliberately encouraging Tibetans to self-immolate since he appealed to all Tibetans not to celebrate Losar in memorial of self-immolators, it said.
