China Flexes Financial Muscles Over Dalai Lama

China, in an unprecedented move, called off a joint summit on the financial crisis scheduled for Monday with the European Union. The reason for this particularly aggressive political maneuver is Europe's relationship with the Dalai Lama. Clealry the Spring uprising in Tibet rattled the Chinese leadership, presenting a global image of disharmony. And the relative weakness of Europe in the wake of the global financial crisis gives the China leverage. Britain, for instance, may have already sold out Tibet as a trade-off for a Chinese contribution to the International Monetary Fund.
