Current World News Comments (0)
The news that China’s leaders have decided to postpone a December 1 summit meeting in Lyons, France, with their European Union counterparts because, as Beijing sees it, the E.U. has been cozying up too closely to the exiled Tibetan spiritual leader, the Dalai Lama, comes on the heels of a gathering of exiled Tibetans in Dharamsala, India, where they discussed what the future of their pro-Tibet movement could or should be. (Historical note: Reuters recalls: “Chinese troops marched into Tibet in 1950, and the Dalai Lama fled the mountainous region in 1959 after a failed uprising against Chinese rule.”)
