There’s Just No Pleasing The Chinese
That is, unless you do everything their way.
So it looks like the Chinese will be unhappy over more than our arms sales to Taiwan. Now they aren’t pleased because President Obama is going to finally meet with the Dalai Lama.
from BBC News -
If the US leader chooses to meet with the Dalai Lama at this time, it will certainly threaten trust and co-operation between China and the United States,” said Mr Zhu, executive deputy minister of the Chinese Communist Party’s United Front Work Department.
“We oppose any attempt by foreign forces to interfere in China’s internal affairs using the Dalai Lama as an excuse,” he said.
Mr Zhu was speaking at a press conference to discuss the recent five-day visit to China by the Dalai Lama’s representatives.
The Tibetans repeated their hopes for greater autonomy for the Himalayan region, but Mr Zhu said there was no possibility of the “slightest compromise” on the issue of sovereignty in Tibet.
