BEIJING, March 18 (Xinhua) -- The claim that the Chinese government is engaged in "cultural genocide" in Tibet is nothing but a lie, said Chinese Premier Wen Jiabao here on Tuesday.

"Since the peaceful liberation and especially the democratic reform, Tibet has moved forward and become more developed," said Wen at a press conference at the end of the annual session of the National People's Congress, China's top legislature.
