China considers the Dalai Lama a dangerous separatist
US President Barack Obama has been accused of bowing to Chinese
pressure by delaying a meeting with the Tibetan spiritual leader, the
Dalai Lama.
Mr Obama has said he will not meet the Dalai Lama, who is currently in
the US, until after visiting China in November.
But human rights activists and some US lawmakers accused Mr Obama of
putting economic issues first - a move the White House denied.
China, which took over Tibet in 1950, considers the Dalai Lama a
separatist.
Beijing also demands that other nations do not meet the Dalai Lama,
who fled into exile in India in 1959 after Chinese troops crushed an
attempted uprising."

It's weak and disgraceful! Even Bush met with the Dalai Lama despite
China's displeasure and Taiwan, which has a lot more at stake than the
U.S. let him into the country.
The White House can deny all it wants but this is shameful on Obama's
part.
