WASHINGTON — The White House Friday rejected China's demand for US President Barack Obama to cancel his meeting next week with Tibet's exiled spiritual leader, the Dalai Lama.
White House spokesman Robert Gibbs was asked to react to China's warning that going ahead with the meeting would severely challenge already strained ties between the two powers.
"I do not know if their specific reaction was to cancel it," Gibbs said. "If that was their specific reaction, the meeting will take planned as place next Thursday."
