China warns against Obama-Dalai Lama meeting | Reuters
Is this issue something we in the U.S. should be concerned about?
Retaliation sounds awful, but what can they really do to hurt us, stop loaning us our own money we spent on the crap they build?
That would be doing us a favor and maybe Obama and the rest of the idiots would stop trying to spend ud into the toilet.
China already owns our debt but they can't really foreclose on us.
They try to hack the pentagon Computers everyday already, so no real worries there.
They can't start a war because no one could possibly win one.
I guess they could hold next Christmas hostage and refuse to ship any crap over here till Dec. 26th 2010.
If the goal is too find a way to make Obama look bad diplomatically that should take almost a whole minute and Obama doesn't nee their help for that.
Is this something to be concerned about or just much ado about nothing.
Dalai Lama left Tibet over 50 years ago what's the big deal anyway. There really isn't much in Tibet to fight over past a few Tibetans, the natural resources amount to very little save little nuclear material and some medicinal plants and the Yeti.

BEIJING/WASHINGTON (Reuters) - China warned President Barack Obama on Wednesday that a meeting with the Dalai Lama would further erode ties between the two powers, already troubled by Washington's arms sales to Taiwan.
The White House confirmed on Tuesday that Obama would meet the exiled Tibetan Buddhist leader, reviled by Beijing as a separatist for seeking self-rule for his mountainous homeland.
China's angry response reflected deepening tension between the world's biggest and third-biggest economies, with Beijing noting that President Hu Jintao himself urged Obama not to meet the exiled Tibetan leader.
During a summit with Obama in Beijing in November, Hu "explained China's stern position of resolutely opposing any government leaders and officials meeting the Dalai," said Ma Zhaoxu, a Chinese Foreign Ministry spokesman.
"We urge the U.S. to fully grasp the high sensitivity of the Tibetan issues, to prudently and appropriately deal with related matters, and avoid bringing further damage to China-U.S. relations."
The White House shrugged off Beijing's earlier warnings about the meeting, which may happen as early as this month.
China's ire at the U.S. announcement was predictable, as was the White House's confirmation of the meeting, which has long been flagged.
