Dalai Lama President Obama
One gets the impression lately that the Chinese feel they are now the superpower and can dictate to other countries, including the United States. They, on the other hand, bristle when the US suggests they allow basic human rights, eliminate censorship, and open the internet.
They have been trying to dissuade President Obama from meeting with the Dalai Lama whom China accuses of pushing for Tibetan independence.
Thankfully, President Obama has decided to meet with whom he chooses. He is sending the message that, although the US would like China's help with a solution to the nuclear situations in Iran and North Korea and the climate change crisis, China is not going to tell him with whom he can meet.
As for their differences with the Dalai Lama, he insists that he is not pushing for Tibetan independence.
