Beijing (AFP) Feb 19, 2010 China's foreign ministry on Friday condemned US President Barack Obama's meeting with the Dalai Lama, saying it "grossly violated" international norms and contradicted stated US policy. "The US act grossly violated the norms governing international relations and ran counter to the principles" set out in joint statements by the two countries, foreign ministry spokesman Ma Zhaoxu said, quoted by state news agency Xinhua.

Ma demanded that the United States "seriously consider" China's stance and immediately take steps to "wipe out the baneful impact and stop conniving and supporting anti-China separatist forces," Xinhua said, again paraphrasing the spokesman.
