Dalai's visit likely to threaten Sino-U.S. relations

By Wang Linyan


BEIJING,April 22 -- U.S. president Barack Obama
risks damaging relations with China if he meets the Dalai Lama in October,
experts warn.

"China would definitely be against the U.S. leader
meeting the Dalai Lama as it would be a severe interference in China's internal
affairs," said Fu Mengzi, a scholar on American studies at the China Institute
of Contemporary International Relations.

The Dalai Lama is seeking an audience with Obama in
October, the Associated Press reported on Tuesday.

Sino-U.S. relations have been proceeding smoothly as
of late, particularly after President Hu Jintao and Obama met for the first time
on April 1 ahead of the G20 summit in London.

During the meeting, Obama accepted Hu's invitation to
visit China later this year and said that Sino-U.S. relations have become
extremely constructive.

Both leaders reached consensus on major issues of
common concern at the G20, including Tibet, Fu said.

"Obama will break the consensus if he meets the Dalai
Lama. It will also have negative influences on Sino-U.S. cooperation with
regards to the financial crisis and regional security, like the nuclear issue on
the Korean Peninsula," he said.

Both George W. Bush's father and former president
Bill Clinton met with the Dalai Lama in private, while the younger Bush met with
him in a public ceremony.

Analysts said it's hard to conclude if Obama will
meet the Dalai Lama.

While campaigning for the U.S. presidency in July,
Obama expressed his support in a letter to the Dalai Lama.

"But now Obama as president has to assess the visit's
impact on Sino-U.S. relations," said Pang Zhongying, a professor with Renmin
University of China's school of international relations.

Can Dalai Lama's lie deceive the world
for long?


BEIJING, March 28 (Xinhua) -- The Dalai Lama's
"Tibetan government-in-exile" recently made public a video purportedly showing
Chinese policemen "overusing violence" against a Tibetan demonstrator during the
March 14 riot last year.


Some Western media broadcasted the video as if they
had found a treasure. Unfortunately, these media have been cheated again as the
video is another lie the Dalai Lama clique has fabricated to fool the world.

Tibetologists say Dalai Lama's
anniversary speech distorts facts


BEIJING, March 26 (Xinhua) -- The 14th Dalai Lama has
distorted facts in his public remarks this month, say Chinese tibetologists.


In his speech on the March 10 anniversary of the
"uprising" five decades ago, the Dalai Lama said today's Tibetans "literally
experienced hell on earth", and only the old Tibet was "a free Tibet."
