Outrage at Taiwan president's remarks over Dalai Lama
(12-04 19:38)
Remarks by Beijing-friendly President Ma Ying-jeou ruling out the possibility of Tibet's spiritual leader the Dalai Lama visiting Taiwan in the near future provoked outrage in Taipei.
Ma made it clear on Wednesday that the Dalai Lama is not likely to visit the island for now, as Taipei's ties with Beijing improve.
The remarks irked the pro-independence Democratic Progressive Party, who forged closer ties with the Dalai Lama's government in exile during their eight-year rule, which ended in May.
