China critical of Dalai Lama, French officials meeting
Asia Pacific News.Net
Wednesday 20th August, 2008 (IANS)
Beijing's foreign ministry Wednesday sharply criticized plans by French government ministers to meet the Dalai Lama.
Ministry spokesman Qin Gang demanded more 'consideration' for the Sino-French bilateral ties.
'We hope the French side respects China's concerns and will deal carefully with the important and sensitive issues,' Quin said in Beijing.
French Human Rights Minister Rama Yade announced plans to meet the exiled Tibetan spiritual leader, who is currently on a 12-day visit to France, Friday.
President Nicolas Sarkozy declined to meet the Dalai Lama, but the monk is expected to meet with first lady Carla Bruni-Sarkozy.
Foreign Minister Bernhard Kouchner, who was also scheduled to meet the Buddhist leader Wednesday, cancelled the meeting because of the events in Georgia, news reports said.
Ahead of the Dalai Lama's trip, China had threatened Paris with consequences if a meeting with the French government were to take place.

Birds of the feather flock together as partners in crime....
Same games, same dirty tricks, same feudal mentality, same cunningness and self-servingness. Hopefully some intelligent people can now see the wolves under the sheep skins, and will learn to ignore such childish & meaningless meetings.

China critical of Dalai Lama, French officials meeting
Meeting of the same kind. French was colonial master in Africa, Indo-China and even now colonial master of several island nations in the Pacific. The way they handle their colonies was abnoxious, brutal and bloody. Everywhere they went they have no respect for local culture nor indegeneous people’s right. Their aim is simple, to exploit the local for France’s benefit. The darkest chapter which was not taught in their children’s history lessen was the re-conquering of Indo-china immediately after second world war. Instead of reconstructing their homeland after the humiliating deafeat under the hand of Nazi Germany, they formed a rag tag army with borrowed arms to attack Indo-China, all with the approval of western nations. The result is known by everyone except France’s ignorant generation now in political office, they blame US for the malais in Vietnam, conveniently forget it was their greedy venture that started all those killing in Indo-China.
As for the Llama, he did not help chinese tibetan while in power, now in exile, he spread lies trying to cosy up with war mongers everywhere to interfere with chinese government’s drive to bring million of their countrymen out of poverty and misery, all these in the name of more autonomy but in actual fact is trying to create misunderstanding and hatred and killing amongst neighbors and brothers everywhere in the nation, easily forgetting all his supporters in the west were either brutal colonialists or current war mongers. Only ignorant kids in the west go for simplistic solution for world’s ill, peaceful people with bright eyes can see through all these dancing around in the west about Tibet is a hidden agenda to rob the world of an alternate mode of develpment for the exploited lots in the third world.

FRENCH LEADERS ARE INTROVERTS!
The French leaders need the support of the Delai Lama for their own inferiority complex. France is looking for their identity and so is the Delai Lama. Maybe by combining their efforts they will find their true self. Maybe! Maybe! Doubtful!
