i don't really have an iron in this fire, but i'll just point out that like it or not the dalai lama is always both a religious and political figure in a way that's basically different from, say, the pope. so even if you're inclined for whatever reason to see in the dalai lama the world's most fabulous human being, he still is a political figure directly tied to the politics surrounding tibet. so none of this stuff from china should be a surprise.
