Question
hello, my name is cornelio and i want to ask you about the relation between dalai lama and the chinese government.more precisely, what does dalai lama do not to be agreed by the authorities? i understand that china's political regime is communist and that dalai lama promotes social and especially moral values which don't exactly correspond with those imposed by the government. please, enlighten me

Answer
Hi Cornelio
I am more of an expert on Buddhism than the political situation in Tibet. But I can refer you to some resources:

The Tibetan Government in exile's web site:
http://www.tibet.com/

There is a support site at:
http://www.tibet.org/

There is also an excellent film of the lie of the Dalai Lama
called Kundun.

Kind regards
Bodhicitta
