Is China bullying countries into ignoring the Dalai Lama? Why do we allow their threats to be this powerful?

Because they exert tremendous economic power in the world. China has an inordinate amount of paranoia regarding world opinion of their continued occupation of Tibet - which only serves to draw more attention to a situation that much of the world cares little about. So in a way, I suppose it works in the Dalai Lama's favor that China goes to such lengths to make organizations shun him.
And, Strange Famous, who said anything about the Dalai Lama's feelings? He represents the occupied nation of Tibet - his country and his people that he has worked for tirelessly all of his life. What have you done? Get a grip.
