Taiwan president nixes Dalai Lama visit
AP - Thursday, December 4
TAIPEI, Taiwan - Taiwan's president has ruled out a visit to his island by the Dalai Lama, the Tibetan spiritual leader.
President Ma Ying-jeou says "the timing is not appropriate" for a visit by the Dalai Lama.
Ma's comments on Wednesday follow widely circulated reports that the Dalai Lama wanted to come to the island in the coming months.
Such a visit would almost certainly anger China, long engaged in a campaign to clamp down on pro-independence activities in Tibet.
Ma has made improved relations with Beijing the hallmark of his six-month-old administration.
