China summons U.S. ambassador over Dalai Lama meeting – CNN.com: “Beijing, China (CNN) — China summoned the U.S. ambassador on Friday to express its ‘strong dissatisfaction’ over the Dalai Lama’s meeting with U.S. President Barack Obama a day earlier.

China didn’t disclose what was discussed during the session with Ambassador Jon Huntsman at the Foreign Ministry. But Beijing had warned that a meeting between the president and the exiled Tibetan spiritual leader would damage its ties with Washington.

‘The Chinese side expresses strong dissatisfaction and resolute opposition to this meeting,’ a spokesman for China’s Foreign Ministry said in a statement after Thursday’s meeting at the White House.”
