The Chinese government has issued a warning to the White House that there will be consequences of a diplomatic nature if President Barack Obama goes ahead with a rumored plan to meet the Dalai Lama in Washington later this month. A representative from the Chinese Communist Party hinted vaguely at undesirable outcomes if Obama spends face time with the Tibetan Buddhist leader, claiming that China will “take corresponding action to make relevant countries see their mistakes,” which certainly doesn’t sound ideal. –KA

“If they [the US] don’t recognise that Tibet is part of China, it will seriously undermine the political foundation of Sino-US relations.”
