I think it''s genuine in the sense that China really is not happy that the Dalai Lama gets sort of a piece of the bully pulpit of the White House and gets all the attention that comes with that and the kind of political capital that comes with it. At the same time, at this point, it seems unlikely there''s going to be major fallout on the substantive, the other substantive issues in US-China relations. So to some extent, it probably is the requisite blustering over something that they would prefer not to happen.\"\u003cbr/\u003eWashington, DC - 18 February 2010\u003cbr/\u003e16. Pro-Dalai Lama demonstrators singing and dancing outside White House\u003cbr/\u003e17. Close of demonstrator holding photo of Obama meeting with the Dalai Lama years ago\u003cbr/\u003eUS President Barack Obama personally welcomed the Dalai Lama to the White House on Thursday and lauded his goals for the Tibetan people, but he kept their get-together off-camera and low-key in an attempt to avoid inflaming tensions with China.\u003cbr/\u003eAt the risk of angering Beijing, Obama did tell the exiled spiritual leader that he backs the preservation of Tibet''s culture and supports human rights for its people. \u003cbr/\u003eHe also gave encouragement to the Dalai Lama''s request for talks with the Chinese government.\u003cbr/\u003eSpeaking to reporters on the White House driveway, the Dalai Lama declared himself \"very happy\" with the session. \u003cbr/\u003eThe exiled Tibetan leader said he spoke to Obama about the promotion of human value, religious harmony, a greater leadership role for women around the world and the concerns of the Tibetan people. \u003cbr/\u003eHe said Obama was \"very much supportive.\"\u003cbr/\u003eTibetans gathered outside the White House on Thursday to welcome their spiritual leader.\u003cbr/\u003eLater in the day, after leaving the White House, Dalai Lama chided China for what he called its \"childish\" and \"limited\" approach to Tibetan efforts for greater rights. \u003cbr/\u003eHe said he expected a negative Chinese reaction to his meeting with Obama.\u003cbr/\u003eObama''s largely symbolic meeting with the Dalai Lama was kept low-key by comparison to other visiting leaders, out of deference to China who had urged Obama not to meet.\u003cbr/\u003eWith Beijing considering the Buddhist monk a separatist, Obama did not want to overly anger China at a time when its cooperation is needed on nuclear standoffs with Iran and North Korea, climate change and other priorities.\u003cbr/\u003eChina is a rising global rival for the US and a hoped-for partner. \u003cbr/\u003eSo Obama sat down with his fellow Nobel Peace Prize laureate in the Map Room rather than the much-more-photographed Oval Office where presidents usually visit with international leaders. \u003cbr/\u003eTheir talks were held entirely out of view of cameras and the public. \u003cbr/\u003eThe White House released only a single official picture, rather than allow  independent photographers and reporters to see the two men together. \u003cbr/\u003eEven the description the White House press office gave reporters of the talks was done on paper.\u003cbr/\u003eThe timing was a concession, too, as Obama declined to see the Dalai Lama during his Washington stay in October because it would have come before the president''s November China visit.\u003cbr/\u003eAll these gestures -  small to many but important in the supersensitive world of diplomacy - were meant to tamp down China''s displeasure that Obama was holding the meeting in the first place.   \u003cbr/\u003e\"Certainly there''s a lot of posturing, a lot of political symbolism going on right now on both sides,\" said John Delury, associate director of the Asia Society''s Centre on US China Relations.  \u003cbr/\u003e\"China is not happy that the Dalai Lama gets a piece of the bully pulpit of the White House and gets the attention that comes with it and gets the political capital that comes with it,\" he added.\u003cbr/\u003eDelury said at the same time, it was unlikely that there would be any \"major fallout on the substantive issues in US-China relations.\"\u003cbr/\u003eAlthough the Dalai Lama is revered in much of the world, Beijing accuses him of seeking to overthrow Chinese rule and restore a feudal theocracy in the expansive mountainous region. \u003cbr/\u003eThe Dalai Lama and analysts say that is untrue. \u003cbr/\u003eWhile US-Chinese relations have been strained for years over currency and military disputes and other issues, Beijing''s rapid growth of late has the two powerhouses moving closer to equals. \u003cbr/\u003eWith the Chinese government America''s biggest creditor, holding 800 (b) billion US dollars of federal debt, Beijing has extraordinary leverage in the relationship. \u003cbr/\u003eMost recently, the Obama administration''s approval of a multi-billion-dollar arms sale to Taiwan, the self-governing democratic island that Beijing claims as its own, has raised tensions.\u003cbr/\u003eAt the same time, Obama has to balance China''s views against criticism from US lawmakers and activists that he buckled to China too much already on the topic, by not meeting with the Dalai Lama when he came to Washington in October.\u003cbr/\u003eMeetings between the Dalai Lama and US presidents became standard fare under former President George H.W. Bush nearly 20 years ago. \u003cbr/\u003eBut the choreography is always delicate and closely watched because of China''s sensitivity to the issue.\u003cbr/\u003e\u003c/span\u003e\n\u003c/div\u003e\n\u003cdiv class='action-container flex justify-between'\u003e\n\u003cbutton aria-expanded='false' aria-label='Read more description'
