Despite China's objections, President Bush met with the Dalai Lama Tuesday.
The White House defended the meeting in the president's residence and dismissed Beijing's warning that the talks and the awarding of the Congressional Gold Medal to him on Wednesday would damage relations between the United States and China.
Associated Press writer Foster Klug, who's covering the Dalai Lama's visit, told asap the White House is trying to keep the event low-key by not releasing a photograph of the president's meeting with the exiled spiritual leader of Tibet's Buddhists. The White also declined to make any public statements afterward, although the Dalai Lama did speak to reporters.
In this audio clip , Klug discusses some of China's objections to the meeting and offers perspective on the U.S. celebrations this week in the Dalai Lama's honor.
