BEIJING: China Friday urged the United States to
immediately withdraw a decision on a meeting between President Barack Obama and
exiled Tibetan spiritual leader the Dalai Lama, Xinhua news agency reported.
The White House has defied angry Chinese protests and said Obama would
meet the Dalai Lama next week, just as he seeks Beijing's help in imposing tough
new sanctions on Iran.
China had lodged a solemn representation with
Washington, Chinese foreign ministry spokesman Ma Zhaoxu said, according to
Xinhua.
"China firmly opposes the Dalai Lama visiting the United States
and US leaders' contacting with him," Ma said.
"We urge the US side to
fully understand the high sensitivity of Tibet-related issues, honour its
commitment to recognising Tibet as part of China and opposing 'Tibet
independence'," Ma said.
Despite political pressure at home, Obama
avoided meeting the Dalai Lama when the Buddhist monk was in Washington last
year, in an apparent bid to set relations off on a good foot with Beijing early
in his presidency.
Obama, however, told Chinese leaders during his trip
to Beijing in November that he planned to meet with the Dalai Lama, who is
widely respected in the United States but branded a separatist by Beijing.
Obama also knows Chinese support is vital if he is to succeed in winning
unanimous backing at the UN Security Council for the tough regime of sanctions
he wants to impose on Iran for stepping up its suspect nuclear work.
Next week's meeting in Washington comes at a time when relations have
already soured over the sale of a US$6.4-billion package of US weapons to
Taiwan, which Beijing regards as a Chinese territory.
Beijing last week
said it "resolutely opposes" the planned visit by the Dalai Lama, who fled Tibet
into exile in India in 1959, especially any meetings with US leaders.
The Dalai Lama, 74, fled his homeland after a failed uprising against
Chinese rule. That came nine years after Chinese troops were sent to take
control of the region.
