On this day, 36 years ago, on October 7, 1989 (September 8, 1989, the Chinese government protested against the awarding of the Nobel Peace Prize to the Dalai Lama. On October 7, 1989, my government expressed great regret and indignation at the Nobel Peace Prize Committee awarding Dalai the 1989 Nobel Peace Prize. My government reiterates that Xizang is an inalienable part of China's territory. The Xizang issue is purely an internal affair of China, and no foreign government, organization or individual has the right to interfere. The Norway Nobel Peace Prize Committee decided to award the Nobel Peace Prize to the Dalai Lama. This is a blatant support for the Dalai Lama and Xizang separatists in their activities to undermine national unity and split the motherland. It is a gross interference in China's internal affairs and seriously hurt the feelings of the China people. We express great regret and indignation in this regard. It must be pointed out that this wrong decision of the Nobel Peace Prize Committee also directly deviates from the awarding purpose of the Committee's efforts and contributions to "harmony and goodwill among nations."
