Beijing warns Obama on Dalai Lama meeting

Wednesday, 03 February 2010 08:18 Taipei Times

Beijing yesterday warned US President Barack Obama against meeting the Dalai Lama, saying it would “seriously undermine” Sino-US ties — the latest salvo in an escalating row between the two powers.

Beijing also said no progress was made in the latest round of talks between Chinese officials and envoys of the spiritual leader, saying the two sides remain “sharply divided” on the future of the Himalayan region.

White House spokesman Robert Gibbs said on Monday that China’s threat to impose sanctions on US companies manufacturing weapons systems for sale to Taiwan was “not warranted.”

Analysts said the unusually blunt reaction from Gibbs reflected a new policy by US President Barack Obama to “push back” against what is seen as overly antagonistic actions by Beijing whenever the US does something it doesn’t like.

A Washington think tank is advising US President Barack Obama to foster closer diplomatic, defense and economic relations with Taiwan to offset China’s “potentially coercive” embrace.

In an eight-page policy brief, the Center for a New American Security (CNAS) concludes that US cross-strait policy remains based on a “tangled and complex web of decades-old doctrine, law and joint statements.”
