BEIJING, Dec. 7 (Chinese media) -- China on Sunday lodged a
strong protest against French President Nicolas Sarkozy's meeting with the Dalai
Lama.
Deputy Foreign Minister He Yafei summoned French
Ambassador to China Herve Ladsous on Sunday evening, lodging a strong protest,

Saturday as French president, who also holds the rotating EU presidency, in
total disregard of Chinese people's strong opposition and repeated stern
representations by the Chinese side. "This grossly interfered in China's
internal affairs," He said.
"It also severely undermined China's core interest,
gravely hurt the feelings of the Chinese people and sabotaged the political
basis of China-France and China-EU relations.
"The Chinese government firmly opposes and strongly
protests to the action," the deputy foreign minister said.
Also on Sunday, Foreign Ministry Spokesman Liu
Jianchao made remarks toslash Sarkozy's meeting with the Dalai Lama.
Sarkozy held a half-hour meeting with the Dalai Lama
Saturday in the Polish city of Gdansk.
