China Cries (Foul) Over Dalai Lama Meeting

The Dalai Lama meets Carla Bruni-Sarkozy (R), Rama Yade (L), and Bernard Kouchner at the Lerab Ling temple in August

If the US is called "the Ugly Americans" then certainly China should be called, "the Crybabies." China, one of the world's most despotic tyrannies seems to always be aggrieved over what some other country said or did to China. This time, China has called off upcoming meetings with the EU due to France' planned meeting with the Dalai Lama. Well that does it, that will show 'em! According to Breitbart.com,

The spokesman said the Chinese government and people were extremely unhappy at Sarkozy's plan to meet the exiled Tibetan spiritual after the China-EU summit.

"The Tibet issue is related to China's sovereignty and territorial integrity and it touches China's interests at the core. We firmly oppose the Dalai Lama 's separatist activities in foreign countries with any capacity, and firmly oppose the contact between foreign leaders with him in any form," Qin said.

Xinhua quoted Qin as saying that in a bid to maintain good relations with France and the EU, China had told France many times to handle the Tibet issue properly in order to create the necessary conditions for the summit.

But Qin said France, which holds the EU's rotating presidency until the end of the year, had not actively responded to China's efforts to maintain ties with France and the EU, according to Xinhua.
