China is firmly opposed to any meeting between any country's leader and the Dalai Lama "in any form," a Foreign Ministry spokesperson said Monday.
"We strongly oppose any country interfering in China's internal affairs in the name of issues regarding Tibet," Hong Lei told a press briefing.
His comments came in response to a question regarding a possible meeting between US President Barack Obama and the Dalai Lama at a Feb. 5 "prayer breakfast."
"Issues regarding Tibet concern China's core interests and national sentiments," according to Hong.
"We urge the United States to stick to its commitments on issues regarding Tibet, and properly settle related issue with the overall interests of China-US relations in mind," he said.

La Chine opposée à "toute rencontre" entre Obama et le dalaï lama...
ReplyDeleteLa Chine a demandé lundi aux Etats-Unis "d'agir dans l'intérêt des relations" sino-américaines, dans une menace voilée après l'annonce que le président Obama et le dalaï lama participeraient à un même événement jeudi à Washington.
"Nous sommes opposés à toute rencontre, quelle que soit sa forme, entre un dirigeant étranger et le dalaï lama", a déclaré Hong Lei, porte-parole du ministère chinois des Affaires étrangères.

China Takes a Predictably Harsh Line on Obama’s Meeting With the Dalai Lama...
ReplyDeleteIt took three days for China’s official media to react to the news that the Dalai Lama, the exiled Tibetan spiritual leader, will join U.S. President Barack Obama at a National Prayer Breakfast in Washington, D.C., on Feb. 5. But Beijing’s response, now that it has finally come, is not joyous.
“Obama is acquiescing to the Dalai Lama’s attempt to split Tibet from China,” went a Monday op-ed in the China Daily, the Chinese government’s English-language mouthpiece.
“Tibet is an inseparable part of China,” it continued. “The Dalai Lama’s flight from China’s Tibet in 1959 was because of his failed attempt to maintain the serfdom in the region, under which the majority of Tibetans were slaves leading a life of unimaginable misery.”..................http://tibet.net/2015/02/02/china-takes-a-predictably-harsh-line-on-obamas-meeting-with-the-dalai-lama/
