China, which has claimed self-ruled Taiwan since the end of the Chinese civil war in 1949, said on Monday that the Dalai Lama's visit could "sabotage" fast-improving relations with China-friendly Taiwan President Ma Ying-jeou. But its actions so far have been to cancel just minor events and aim its ire at Taiwan's opposition Democratic Progressive Party (DPP), not Ma. By not blaming Ma, Beijing may have indicated that it does not wish to escalate the dispute in which China's two most sensitive territorial issues, Tibet and Taiwan, overlap. The Dalai Lama arrived on Sunday to comfort victims of the island's worst typhoon in 50 year, which struck last month triggering floods that killed about 750 people. He says the purpose is non-political, but China does not see it that way. "Exchange activities are either being pushed back or canceled," Taiwan's ruling Nationalist Party (KMT) China affairs director, Chang Jung-kung, said. "They won't criticize Ma because they want to save some space for future talks." People's Bank of China vice governor Su Ning has postponed "for technical reasons" a scheduled trip to Taiwan where he was due to give a speech at a bill financing forum, organizers said. A Chinese team will boycott the opening ceremony for the Deaflympics on September 5 in Kaohsiung, southern Taiwan, organizers said, while Chinese media said the mainland's Taiwan Affairs Office will skip a planned "Taiwan Week" to be held in Liaoning Province, in northwestern China. DIRECT FLIGHTS On Monday, Chinese media downplayed the launch of a host of direct scheduled flights between the mainland and Taiwan, an event that would normally be welcomed with great fanfare and extensive coverage of flower-strewn welcomes at the airports. The India-based Dalai Lama, wearing gold and red robes and a purple visor, prayed before 10,000 people, some lying on the floor out of respect, at a sports stadium in Kaohsiung on Tuesday for victims of Typhoon Morakot. His itinerary calls for a paid-admission public speech expected to draw supporters from the largely Buddhist island where he has been welcomed, despite small protests by pro-unification groups. China has claimed sovereignty over Taiwan since 1949, when Mao Zedong's forces won the Chinese civil war and Chiang Kai-shek's Nationalists fled to the island. Beijing has vowed to bring Taiwan under its rule, by force if necessary. Ties have warmed since last year as Ma brokers talks with Beijing to establish trade links and ease political tension. The Dalai Lama fled Tibet in 1959 after a failed uprising against Chinese rule. A Nobel prize winner and darling of the West, he has visited Taiwan twice before. Continued...
