27. China sees red over Dalai Lama's US visit

Beijing, October 20 (AFP)

China today issued a strong protest to Tibet's spiritual leader Dalai Lama's planned visit to the USA next month, calling him a "separatist" with an intention to split national unity. "Dalai is not just a religious figure, but is a political exile who has for a long time engaged in separatist activities to damage the national unity under the name of religion," the Chinese foreign ministry said in a statement. "The Chinese government is firmly opposed to Dalai carrying out anti-China and splittist activities in any country in any capacity, and opposes officials of any country inviting and meeting Dalai in any capacity." The Dalai Lama is to make a high-profile 10-day visit to Washington in November, during which he is likely to meet with US President George W. Bush, Secretary of State Condoleezza Rice and key Congressional leaders, according to the International Campaign for Tibet. If it goes ahead, the visit will come just before Bush makes a trip to China on November 19 to meet with President Hu Jintao. Despite angry complaints from China, Bush went ahead and held talks with the exiled leader in 2001 following his election as US president in the first term. Bush's previous meeting with the exiled Tibetan leader took place at the White House residence, avoiding - as did his predecessor, Bill Clinton - meeting him in official White House offices. Beijing sees the Buddhist icon as a supporter of independence for Tibet, which it regards as Chinese territory.
