What the hell is this world coming to? I have no respect for the man anymore. Allowing yourself (arguably one of the worlds greatest moral authorities) to be honoured by this current administration. Sickening. |

I'm guessing that you're not aware that the medal is awarded by Congress (I counted seven references in the article). |

I would say that relations between China and the US are souring in recent times. The Americans publicly saying Chinese made stuff is crap hit an off note, but it's the truth. It's a fact Chinese made goods are cheap low quality junk and America needs to bring manufacturing and all the jobs back home.
I think this is the issue that makes China and America no so much friends like they had hoped. Not to mention, China is a corrupt communist state and supports the ideals of North Korea. |

Thanks

The Dalai Lama's special envoy, Lodi Gyari, said images of the U.S. president standing beside the Dalai Lama at the congressional ceremony will send a clear message that "people do care about Tibet. We have not been forgotten." |
See my point?  |
