China warned the United States on Monday (2) that opposes any country meet the Dalai Lama "in any way" after the White House had informed the US President, Barack Obama, can attend an event with the exiled Tibetan spiritual leader, which Beijing considers a separatist.
The White House said last week that Obama may speak at a breakfast on February 5 in Washington about the importance of religious freedom. The Dalai Lama should attend the ceremony.
"China opposes any nation or government use the issue of Tibiez to interfere in China's internal affairs, and opposes any country leader to meet with the Dalai Lama in any way," said the spokesman of the Ministry of Foreign Affairs of China Hong Lei at a press conference

"China hopes the US to meet their promises on the issue of Tibiez, and proceed appropriately to deal with the issue on the basis of the general conditions of bilateral relations."
The White House, which said Obama has "great relationship" with the Dalai Lama, has not announced any specific meeting between the two.
Obama met with the Dalai Lama in Washington in February, the third between them, which infuriated Beijing. China says the monk is a "separatist" dangerous seeking the independence of Tibiez.
