The [[Chinese Communist Party]] have criticised the 14th Dalai Lama for his close ties with India. In 2008, the Dalai Lama said that [[Arunachal Pradesh]], partially claimed by China, is part of India, citing the disputed [[Simla Accord (1914)|1914 Simla Accord]].<ref>{{cite news |date=4 June 2008 |title=Tawang is part of India: Dalai Lama |publisher=TNN |url=http://timesofindia.indiatimes.com/India/Tawang_is_part_of_India_Dalai_Lama_/articleshow/3097568.cms |url-status=live |access-date=4 June 2008 |archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20110125122218/http://timesofindia.indiatimes.com/India/Tawang_is_part_of_India_Dalai_Lama_/articleshow/3097568.cms |archive-date=25 January 2011}}</ref> In 2010 at the International Buddhist Conference in [[Gujarat]], he described himself as a "son of India" and "Tibetan in appearance, but an Indian in spirituality." The newspaper of the [[Central Committee of the Chinese Communist Party]], ''[[People's Daily]],'' questioned if the Dalai Lama, by considering himself Indian rather than Chinese, is still entitled to represent Tibetans, alluding to the links between [[Chinese Buddhism|Chinese]] and Tibetan Buddhism and the Dalai Lama siding with India on [[South Tibet|southern Tibet]].<ref name="heart2">{{Cite news |date=22 January 2010 |title=A look at the Dalai Lama's ridiculous Indian heart |publisher=China Tibet Information Center |url=http://chinatibet.people.com.cn/6876597.html |url-status=dead |access-date=17 August 2010 |archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20111009010035/http://chinatibet.people.com.cn/6876597.html |archive-date=9 October 2011}}</ref> Dhundup Gyalpo, the Dalai Lama's eventual secretary in [[New Delhi]], argued that Tibetan and Chinese peoples have no connections apart from a few culinary dishes and that Chinese Buddhists could also be deemed "Indian in spirituality", because both Tibetan and Chinese Buddhism originated from India.<ref>{{Cite web |date=19 November 2013 |title=Mr. Tsewang Gyalpo Arya appointed Bureau Secretary {{!}} Bureau of His Holiness the Dalai Lama |url=https://tibetbureau.in/mr-tsewang-gyalpo-arya-appointed-bureau-secretary/ |website=tibetbureau.in |access-date=13 April 2023 |archive-date=13 April 2023 |archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20230413175854/https://tibetbureau.in/mr-tsewang-gyalpo-arya-appointed-bureau-secretary/ |url-status=live }}</ref><ref>{{cite news |last=Gyalpo |first=Dhundup |date=9 February 2010 |title=Why is the Dalai Lama 'son of India'? |publisher=[[Tibet Sun]] |location=Dharamshala |url=http://www.tibetsun.com/opinions/2010/02/09/why-is-the-dalai-lama-son-of-india |url-status=dead |access-date=18 August 2010 |archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20110717053610/http://www.tibetsun.com/opinions/2010/02/09/why-is-the-dalai-lama-son-of-india |archive-date=17 July 2011}}</ref>
