BEIJING, May 3 (Xinhua) -- China on Tuesday reiterated that the so-called Tibetan government-in-exile has no legitimacy and its election is just political slapstick.
Foreign Ministry spokesperson Hong Lei made the remarks in response to the election held by the separatist political group in India on April 27.
He added that the so-called government-in-exile is not recognized by any country.
As for the claim by the government-in-exile that fewer Tibetans-in -exile have gone to India because of hindrance by China's national security department, Hong said this only reflects the unpopularity of the overseas Tibetan separatist groups.
