Voicing its strong opposition to President Barack Obama's proposed meeting with the Dalai lama and the upcoming maiden US visit by Taiwan's new President Tsai Ing-wen, China today said that America should keep its promise to abide by the ‘One-China' policy.
“The 14th Dalai lama often puts up the facade of religion to peddle internationally his political position of splitting China,” Foreign Ministry spokesman lu Kang told reporters, replying to a question on the Tibetan spiritual leader's comments that his meeting with US President is likely. “We demand no country or Government give him any space for such activities and should certainly not do anything the 1.3 billion people of China would resolutely oppose,” he said. Despite China's opposition, Obama had met Dalai lama in the past.
