Well, to be fair, The Dalai Lama was part of Tibet's ruling elite that enslaved their own people and China simply ousted them into the 21st century...

But yes, China has the US by the cajones :P

No different than "Obama does nothing over illegal settlements and apartheid to keep Israel happy". Is there any difference?

The US and China have much of substance to discuss during upcoming meetings. Keeping the decks as free of PR noise and distractions as possible would be a nice idea. The President and the Dalai Lama will meet after the Chinese meetings have concluded, just as had been announced when Valerie Jarrett met with the Dalai Lama in India three weeks ago...

Hopefully they will be discussing Tariffs for a change. Since Nobama is bought and paid for like any other criminal politician I doubt it

It's considered being a nutcase to be a spiritual representative for a Tibetan freedom movement?

LOL...that is indeed the Chinese way of stating it.

Of course the Chinese murdering Tibetans is ignored.
