New York, NY, USA, 21 May 2010 - His Holiness began his third day of visit to New York City by agreeing to be interviewed by Chinese writer Wang Lixiong on the social network forum, Twitter.
Wang informed His Holiness that he had started preparing for this interview on May 10 by inviting people to submit their questions on Google Moderator and also to vote on their preferred questions. He said altogether there were 1253 people who posed 289 questions with 12473 votes revealing preferences and their results are the questions that he would be posing today. Wang hoped that as all questions may not be able to be touched today there would be occasions in the future for His Holiness to answer them.
