The University of California, San Diego (UCSD), announced earlier this month that it will invite the Dalai Lama to offer the keynote address at the university’s commencement ceremony in June, causing dissatisfaction with many Chinese students.
China is firmly opposed to any visit by the Dalai Lama to the disputed border region between China and India, a Foreign Ministry spokesperson said Friday.
A Chinese mainland spokesperson on Wednesday expressed the mainland's opposition to the Dalai Lama visiting Taiwan.
A Chinese Foreign Ministry spokesperson on Tuesday was asked if the Chinese government planned to refuse to issue Lady Gaga with a China vias after she met with the Dalai Lama.
China warned people to be aware of what it said are the nefarious motives of the Dalai Lama after he met American singer Lady Gaga on a trip to the United States and spoke about love and compassion.
