...Tibet, the 22-year-old Panchen Lama, had promised full support to the Red army's crushing of the rebellion and expressed "great sympathy and concern" for his friend, the Dalai Lama, "who has been abducted by the rebellious elements." Red China's Premier Chou En-lai unctuously declared that "although the Dalai Lama has been abducted to India by the rebels, we still hope he will be able to free himself and return to the motherland...
