‘Hello, Dalai? Goodbye, Dalai’: Obama Postpones Meeting With the Lama to Appease China
Hey, we can’t anger the world’s biggest invester in US debt, can we?
From the Washington Post:
In an attempt to gain favor with China, the United States pressured Tibetan representatives to postpone a meeting between the Dalai Lama and President Obama until after Obama’s summit with his Chinese counterpart, Hu Jintao, scheduled for next month, according to diplomats, government officials and other sources familiar with the talks.
For the first time since 1991, the Tibetan spiritual leader will visit Washington this week and not meet with the president. [con’t]
