Q: It is reported that US President Obama’s Senior Adviser Valerie Jarrett took part in Dalai’s 80th “birthday celebrations” in New York on July 10. How does China comment on this?

A: China is strongly dissatisfied with and opposed to US senior official’s engagement with the Dalai Lama in disregard of China’s multiple representations. We urge the US side to honor its commitment of recognizing Tibet as part of China and not supporting “Tibet independence”, make tangible efforts to correct its mistakes and eradicate adverse effects, and stop providing any convenience and support to the “Tibet independence” forces lest China-US relations be disrupted and jeopardized.
