AbstractThe Dalai Lama, the Tibetan spiritual leader, arrived in Taiwan's southern city of Kaohsiung on 22 March 1997 for a six-day visit billed as a private religious event. Chinese officials denounced the trip as "a political crusade to split the motherland." The mainland did threaten to shelve direct shipping links between China and Taiwan expected to get under way in April 1997.
