China condemns Dalai Lama Paris award
Source: Melbourne Herald-Sun

"The behaviour of the Paris government... can only create serious damage to cooperation between Paris and relevant cities in China and has created grave interference in relations between China and France,'' said a statement by China's foreign ministry.

The Dalai Lama was made an honorary citizen of the French capital yesterday following a March 2008 decision by the city's council to award him the title.

2. China Must Shut-Up!
The country of plastic purpose and irrelevant thoughts and condemnations. Stick to all you know china. That is, keeping your pubescent sheep labor making junk for the american dollar generals, aka the american consumers of trash.

I for one do not welcome our chinese overlords.
