Beijing: Denouncing the Dalai Lama as a 'splittist,' China has accused him of collaborating with the CIA and Indian military to establish the Indian Tibetan special border troops to reclaim authority in his Himalayan homeland from Beijing.

In the name of organising armed troops to fight their way back into Tibet, the Dalai Lama collaborated with the Indian military and American CIA to organise the Indian Tibetan special border troops, the state-run 'China Daily' reported on its website, quoting a lengthy report appearing in an official Tibetan publication.

It is not clear whether the report was alluding to the Indo-Tibetan Border Police, a para-military unit of India.

The report noted that the Tibetan Buddhist spiritual leader has been setting up 'representative offices' in some countries, organising the Tibet youth congress, Tibet national democratic party" and Tibet women's federation.

"All these organisations have engaged in separatist activities overseas," the report said.

Moreover, the Dalai Lama set up his government in exile overseas and worked out a "Tibetan constitution" and setting up a rebel army in Nepal for border harassments, it said.

Despite his frequent statements of not seeking 'Tibetan independence,' the article accused him of pursuing his agenda of seeking independence under the guise of seeking 'real autonomy' for the remote Himalayan region.

"People who know Tibetan history well know that the Dalai Lama stands for the "independence of Tibet" when he has fled to India in 1959," it said.

The article also rejected his demand for implementing the one country, two systems formula in Tibet, similar to Hong Kong and Macau as also his bid for an 'enlarged Tibet' including the Tibetan-inhabited areas in Gansu, Qinghai, Sichuan and Yunnan provinces.
