China tells US back off after Dalai Lama honored

[I AM NOT THAT GUY 5,715]

BEIJING (AP) - China on Friday accused the United States of meddling in its domestic affairs after the American lawmakers recognized the Dalai Lama with an award for his efforts to improve human rights.

The U.S. Congress presented the award, which was in honor of the late U.S. human rights activist Tom Lantos, to the exiled Tibetan spiritual leader on Tuesday.

China reviles the Dalai Lama and has pressured foreign governments not to meet with him.

"We urge some members of the U.S. Congress to respect the history and the facts, recognize the true face of Dalai Lama, stop using the Tibet issue to interfere in China's internal affairs," Foreign Ministry spokesman Ma Zhaoxu said in a statement posted on the ministry's Web site.

The criticism comes even though President Barack Obama did not meet the Dalai Lama during the trip. Obama said he would not meet the spiritual leader until after he visits President Hu Jintao in November.

I thought the Dalai-Lama criticized America for the large discrepancy between rich and poor. He better hope that God is on his side, because pretty soon no one else will be.
