Times Online - China outraged as Bush meets the Dalai Lama

President Bush was today due to hold talks at the White House with the exiled spiritual leader of Tibet, and tomorrow the US Congress will award him one of its highest civilian honours.

“This action will seriously damage China-US relations,” Liu Jianchao, a Foreign Ministry spokesman, told a press briefing. “We express strong dissatisfaction and our firm opposition. “

Perhaps the Chinese would be less outraged if, instead of meeting the Dalai Lama, Bush gunned him down and then burned his and a couple hundred of his monks’ bodies in secret furnaces.
