China lashes U.S after Indian-origin diplomat meets Dalai Lama at Dharamshala

China accuses U.S of interference in its internal matters after top official meets the Dalai Lama. Explicitly referring to the Tibetan spiritual leader as a ‘separatist’, the Chinese foreign ministry said the U.S should stick to its stand that Tibet is part of China. Beijing’s strong response came after U.S special coordinator for Tibetan affairs Uzra Zeya met the Dalai Lama in Himachal Pradesh’s Dharamshala. This is first such visit of a senior official from US under the Joe Biden’s administration. Remember, Dalai Lama and the Tibetan government-in-exile have been living in India ever since he fled Tibet in 1959 after Chinese invasion.
