The executives in the white house have decided to put off a meeting with the exiled Tibetan spiritual leader until after Obama has met with China. With tensions high in the Tibetan area of China this is probably a smart move on the government's part, as the Chinese government would most likely not approve of what would appear to many as an endorsing of the teachings of the Dalai Lama, and therefore acceptance of the Tibetan area.
Although its not like the Dalai Lama has never been to the White House. Just two years ago he was given a peace award from President Bush in the house of the president. However, with tensions high, and now more than ever America needing to maintain economic stabilization with China, now is not really the ideal time for the Dalai Lama to have a visit with the president.
