The only reason the Chicoms are getting so upset over the whole visit of the Dali Lama with the president and the award he is recieving from congress is easy to spot.  He is right and they are wrong, and by honoring him the US is acknowledging that fact.  their occupation of Tibet is not an internal matter, as they so slef righteously claim, but rather the continued and illegal occupation of one sovergien state by another.  This is just further proof that tgers can't change their spots and communists can't take criticism.

From the Bangkok Post: US honours Dalai Lama, angers China.

     Washington (AFP) - US President George W. Bush on Wednesday asked China to open talks with the Dalai Lama, hours before attending a Congress ceremony honoring the Tibetan spiritual leader that has angered Beijing.

     "It's in their interest to meet with the Dalai Lama and I will say so at the ceremony today in Congress," Bush said before the controversial event where the Dalai Lama will receive a US Congressional Gold Medal - the highest civilian award bestowed by US lawmakers.

      It will be the first time a sitting US president appears in public with the 72-year-old Buddhist figurehead.

      Chinese Foreign Minister Yang Jiechi had warned that Bush's private meeting with the Dalai Lama on Tuesday and the Congress ceremony represented "a severe violation of the norms of international relations."

      He accused the United States of having "severely hurt" China's feelings and interfered in its internal affairs.

     In regards to china's "hurt feelings," they can kiss my ass and get the fuck over it.  We have every right to honor whom ever we want for wahtever reason we want, so why don't the Chinese stop meddling in our internal affairs.
