The Dalai Lama group has got armed support from the United States Central Intelligence Agency (CIA), says a white paper issued on Wednesday.

According to the U.S. archives disclosed, the Dalai Lama first established contacts with the U.S. government in 1951 after the peaceful liberation of Tibet, says the white paper "Tibet's Path of Development Is Driven by an Irresistible Historical Tide."

During the armed rebellion in Tibet, the CIA not only sent agents to help the 14th Dalai to flee, but also purposefully trained militants to support his forces and airdropped a large quantity of weaponry, says the white paper issued by the Information Office of the State Council.

An article titled "Heiliger Schein" published on June 8, 2012 in the Suddeutsche Zeitung commented that, as the leading exponent of pure pacifism, Dalai's knowledge of the CIA's infiltration in Tibet was probably much more than he had admitted so far; and this tainted the spiritual leader.

The article also pointed out that the 14th Dalai Lama's relationship with CIA was "incompatible with his status as the supreme moral authority," according to the white paper.
