由此可见，所谓的“高度自治”，“自治”是假，“独立”是真，目的是要否定中国对西藏的主权，建立不受中央政府管辖的“大藏区”。如此的“高度自治”，根本没有实现的基础和条件。

　　其一，“高度自治”根本违背了《中华人民共和国宪法》关于中国各民族关系的精神和原则。《中华人民共和国宪法》序言明确表明：“中华人民共和国是全国各族人民共同缔造的统一的多民族国家。平等、团结、互助的社会主义民族关系已经确立，并将继续加强。在维护民族团结的斗争中，要反对大民族主义，主要是大汉族主义，也要反对地方民族主义。”第4条规定：“中华人民共和国各民族一律平等”，“禁止对任何民族的歧视和压迫，禁止破坏民族团结和制造民族分裂的行为”。《中华人民共和国民族区域自治法》第48条规定：“民族自治地方的自治机关保障本地方内各民族都享有平等权利。”十四世达赖集团的“高度自治”，根本无视西藏各民族的平等权利，是极端民族主义的表现。

This demonstrates that "a high degree of autonomy" is a mask that conceals the true aim of realizing complete independence; and its purpose is to deny China's sovereignty over Tibet and establish a "Greater Tibet" beyond the jurisdiction of the central government. There is no prospect of it ever coming to pass, for the following reasons:

First, it violates the principles of the Constitution of China concerning ethnic relationships. The Constitution states clearly in the Preamble: "The People's Republic of China is a unitary multi-ethnic state built up jointly by the people of all its ethnic groups. Socialist relations of equality, unity and mutual assistance have been established among them and will continue to be strengthened. In the struggle to safeguard the unity of the ethnic groups, it is necessary to combat big-nation chauvinism, mainly Han chauvinism, and also necessary to combat local-national chauvinism." Article 4 says: "All ethnic groups in the People's Republic of China are equal... Discrimination against and oppression of any ethnic group are prohibited; any acts that undermine the unity of the ethnic groups or instigate their secession are prohibited." The Law on Regional Ethnic Autonomy stipulates in Article 48: "The organ of self-government of an ethnic autonomous area shall guarantee equal rights for the various ethnic groups in the area." The Dalai group's demands for "a high degree of autonomy" are an expression of ultra-nationalism that negates the equal rights of ethnic groups in Tibet.
