Great Regulars: Thousands of Chinese netizens put questions online

to Tibetan exiled spiritual leader the Dalai Lama in an unprecedented dialogue on the microblogging service Twitter, although official censors acted fast to block it from many users.

Moderated by U.S.-based writer Wang Lixiong, the dialogue was the first direct contact in decades between the Dalai Lama, whom Beijing has condemned as a separatist responsible for ethnic tensions in Tibet, and ordinary Chinese, for whom nonofficial news about Tibet remains blocked or censored.
