BEIJING, Nov 10 (AFP): China said Monday that talks with envoys of Tibet's exiled spiritual leader, the Dalai Lama, had failed to make progress, and insisted it would not compromise on the status of the Himalayan region.
"Our contacts and talks failed to make progress and they (the Dalai Lama's representatives) should assume full responsibility for it," a Communist Party statement said.
Envoys of the Dali Lama, who has lived in India for nearly half a century, ended two days of talks Wednesday with Chinese officials in Beijing.
