China is threatening to punish Communist Party members loyal to exiled Tibetan spiritual leader, the Dalai Lama, whom Beijing regards as a dangerous separatist.<\/div>
 <\/div>
<\/div>
Ye Dongsong, with the party’s internal discipline watchdog, warned Tibet authorities to focus on “neutralizing separatists and maintaining social stability.”<\/div>

Ye’s comments were published in the Global Times, which quoted analysts who said, “Some officials in Tibet still sympathize with the Dalai Lama” because of their religious beliefs.<\/div>

Beijing views the Dalai Lama, a Nobel Peace Prize winner, as a “terrorist” who encourages violence and wants to split the Chinese state.<\/div>

The Dalai Lama rejects the charges, saying he only advocates greater autonomy and respect for the religious rights of Tibetans.<\/div>
 <\/div>

<\/div>
China denied the charges and said the suicide protests are acts of terrorism.<\/div>
