Chinese Foreign Ministry spokeswoman Jiang Yu said on Thursday that "the door is open for dialogue between the Central Government and Dalai on condition that he shows sincerity for talks through concrete action."

Jiang told a press conference that the Central Government has held great sincerity and patience for contacts and talks with the Dalai side, who has never given positive and comprehensive response to the Central Government.

"We have repeated that as long as Dalai gives up activities of separating the motherland, disrupting the Beijing Olympic Games and inciting violent sabotage, we are willing to continue contacts and talks with him," said Jiang.
