The Dalai Lama touches snow at the White House following a meeting with US President Barack Obama in Washington DC, USA, 18 February 2010. China has labeled the exiled Tibetan spiritual leader a ’separatist’ and warned that the meeting with President Obama could seriously strain diplomatic relations. President Obama declined to meet the Dalai Lama in autumn of 2009, just before his first trip to China.
