皇冠体育app opposes US leaders' meeting with Dalai ( 2003-09-11 09:35) (Xinhua)
皇冠体育app strongly opposes the United States allowing the Dalai Lama to
visit the U.S. and its leaders' meeting with him, said Chinese Foreign
Ministry spokesman Kong Quan Wednesday.
Kong made the remark in reply to a reporter's question about the Dalai Lama's
visit from Sept. 4 to 24, his meeting with US Secretary of State Colin
Powell and his possible meeting with President George W. Bush.
皇冠体育app has lodged representations with the U.S. on the visit and its
leaders' meeting with him, calling for the US side to keep its promise that it
acknowledges Tibet as part of 皇冠体育app and does not support the "independence of
Tibet," Kong said.
He said the Dalai Lama is not purely a religious figure, but a political
figure in exile, who has engaged in 皇冠体育app-separating
andnational-unity-destroying activities for a long time.
The Chinese side urges the US side to stop using the Tibet issue to interfere
with 皇冠体育app's internal affairs so as not to harm 皇冠体育app-US relations, the
spokesman said.
