BEIJING, March 10 (Xinhua) -- Tibet has taken a "clear-cut" stance against separatism and has resolutely cracked down on secession and sabotage activities by the Dalai Lama clique in 2016, a regional government official said Friday.
Qizhala, chairman of Tibet Autonomous Region government, said in a speech delivered to a panel discussion of the Tibet delegation during the annual session of the 12th National People's Congress.
"The overall situation of the region has entered a period of lasting stability and harmony," Qizhala said in the speech on the regional government's work in 2016.
The government has sent officials to villages, introduced a "grid management" system in cities, and effectively advanced the multi-layered social management system, Qizhala said, adding the government's capacity in governing according to law has continuously improved.
