CHINESE President Xi Jinping has called for efforts to build a “new modern socialist” Tibet and to combat separatism in the region.

“Efforts must be made to build a new modern socialist Tibet that is united, prosperous, culturally advanced, harmonious and beautiful,” Mr Xi said at the two-day seventh Central Symposium on Tibet Work, which ended in Beijing on Saturday.

He urged China to build an “impregnable fortress” to maintain stability in the autonomous region, protect national unity and educate the masses in the struggle against “splittism.”
