To Meet or Not To Meet... that was the question

President Obama Is held with a rough political decision whether to allow the visit of the Dalai Lama on Thursday. China views allowance of the visit of the Dalai Lama as a sign of support of the belief that the Dalai Lama is perusing Tibetan independence, although no evidence of such plans has been revealed. If President Obama were to postpone the visit once more it would greatly anger American lawmakers and civil groups because they view the monk as an important figure. I believe that since the Dalai Lama denies all accusations of attempting to gain Tibetan independence and no evidence has been revealed that the President has a greater priority to fulfill president tradition of meeting with the Dalai Lama to demonstrate to the American people his support for the Dalai lamas believes. Also its not like China will end all relations with the U.S. over such an event because the reality is that America owes China a great amount of money and they need to maintain a good relationship with the U.S. to get their money back and to keep having the luxury of America barrowing money from them.
