Although the individuals participating in this discussion were unable to meet together physically, they were able to see and talk to each other through the medium of the internet. The two Chinese lawyers asked His Holiness three questions each from the pre-selected 319 questions, in addition to one question each of their own. The questions and answers were relayed through His Holiness's Chinese Twitter account (@DalaiLamaCN) and Wang Lixiong's Twitter account (@wlixiong) and Teng Biao's Twitter account (@jtyong). A complete transcript of the questions and answers will be posted on His Holiness' official Tibetan, Chinese and English websites along with a video of the event.
