Dalai Lama and Obama to meet at White House
Dalai Lama to meet Obama at White House this month
WASHINGTON – President Barack Obama will welcome the Dalai Lama to the White House this month for a meeting sure to enflame tensions between China and the U.S.
Thursday’s announcement from the White House, which had long been expected, is the latest in a series of blows to a relationship the United States views as critically important. The U.S. wants China’s help in solving nuclear standoffs with Iran and North Korea and economic and climate change crises.
China, which believes that shunning the exiled Tibetan monk should be a basic principle of international relations, was quick to denounce the meeting.</em>
About time they met. And oh yeah…fuck the Chinese.
