'Bid to destroy': Dalai Lama lambasts Xi Jinping after Chinese spy held for snooping | Watch
In his New Year's address, Tibetan spiritual leader the Dalai Lama slammed China. The Dalai Lama says China is trying to target and destroy Buddhism, but it won't succeed. The Tibetan spiritual leader called it a "systematic campaign" by the Xi Jinping government. The Dalai Lama is back in Bodh Gaya for "Kal Chakra puja" after two years. His strong statement against the Xi Jinping government comes just days after a Chinese spy allegedly sent to snoop on him was arrested by Indian authorities.
