China on Friday dismissed as "totally untrue" reports of having Xinjiang-like mass detention centres in Tibet.
Head of the Tibetan government-in exile Lobsang Sangay, in an interview to the BBC earlier this month, said that such detention camps existed in Tibet.
When asked about the reports that such camps were being held by China in Tibet too, Chinese Foreign Ministry spokesperson Geng Shuang, during a media briefing on Friday, said, "What has been motioned in the report is totally untrue."
Asked whether he has any figure about the number of people detained in such camps in Tibet, he said "that we didn't know. Even for Xinjiang it is being estimated that more than million or more (have been detained)."
