China denounces interference after Barack Obama welcomes Dalai Lama

Source: Niti Central

China today cautioned foreign countries against hosting the Dalai Lama and interfering in its domestic affairs on the vexed Tibet issue, a day after US President Barack Obama and the exiled Tibetan spiritual leader appeared together in public for the first time.

“We are against foreign countries interfering in China’s domestic affairs under the pretext of Tibet-related issues,” Chinese Foreign Ministry spokesman Hong Lei told reporters.

“The Dalai Lama is seeking support from foreign counties to realise his political end, but he cannot succeed,” Hong said. “The Dalai Lama is a political exile who has long been engaged in anti-China separatist activities under the pretext of religion,” he said.

Obama yesterday welcomed the Dalai Lama at a prayer breakfast in Washington, but did not meet him directly. At the high-profile event, Obama hailed “good friend” Dalai Lama, calling him as an “inspiration for freedom and dignity.”

internal matters of who our president greets.

Obama is never more awesome than when he steps on China's toes. Time to award some Tibetan and Chinese dissidents some awards. I'd stick with people that are in prison and house arrest.
