"Our position towards the Dalai Lama is consistent and clear cut. The government has been exerting maximum patience to maintain contact with the Dalai Lama. The barrier (to the dialogue) now is not on our side but on the Dalai side", Chinese Foreign Ministry spokesperson Jiang Yu told reporters here.

"We hope that the Dalai Lama can give up the sabotage activities and show concrete action. Otherwise, there is no way out," Jiang said.
