Administration officials say President Obama is to meet with Tibet's exiled religious leader, the Dalai Lama. China has repeatedly warned that such a meeting would harm relations between the United States and China. Ties between the two countries are already tense because of disagreements over Taiwan, Internet restrictions and other issues. An Obama administration official said the President told Chinese leaders last year that he would meet with the Dalai Lama and that he aims to go ahead with those plans. The United States says it is important to have relationships with China and Tibet's exiled government.
