visit of exiled Tibetan spiritual leader the Dalai Lama, warning U.S. officials not to meet with him, as Beijing stepped up the pressure amid celebrations for his 76th birthday."We oppose the underhand visits of the Dalai Lama which he uses to engage in activities to split the motherland," said foreign ministry spokesman Hong Lei.
Hong told a regular news briefing in Beijing that China opposes any foreign government or politicians "supporting or abetting in such activities by the Dalai Lama."
