The Chinese government are not going to like this one 
It has been reported that the US administration has contacted the Dalai Lamas office for a meeting maybe in October this year. China had officaly warned the US against meeting with the Dalai Lama back in April but in the previous years the US has looked upon the spiritual leader as a “universal symbol of peace and tolerance” much to the chagrin of Beijing. In 2007, it even awarded Dalai Lama the Congressional Gold Medal – the highest US civilian honour – despite stiff opposition by China. Yeah go the USA.
The Chinese government has denied the right of legal representation to the Tibetan filmmaker Dhondup Wangchen (amongst others) who is currently under imprisonment, according to a blog maintained by Beijing based noted Tibetan writer and poet Tsering Woser. Dhondup was arrested for making his film Jigdrel – Leaving Fear Behind, documenting the Tibetan people’s opposition to the Chinese government policies and loyalty to the Dalai Lama.
