Again!The "feelings of the Chinese people are to be hurt" by the French!
(Reuters) – China Thursday warned France not to grant exiled Tibetan spiritual leader the Dalai Lama honorary citizenship of Paris when he visits next month, saying it would only anger the Chinese people.
Last year, China pulled out of an EU summit that France was to host after President Nicolas Sarkozy met the Dalai Lama, whom Beijing brands a separatist.
The relationship between China and France deteriorated after the disruption of the Paris leg of the Olympic torch relay last summer by pro-free Tibet activists incensed many Chinese.
(People's Daily) - China demanded Thursday that the city of Paris stop interfering in China's internal affairs.Foreign Ministry spokesman Ma Zhaoxu made the comment in response to a question on the city's decision to give honorary citizenship to the Dalai Lama next month.

Now THAT will keep the Chinese nationalists busy for days!
Just in time to divert the attention from the upcoming Tiananmen anniversary.
By the way, also next month, the Dutch also are to hurt the sensitive feelings of the Chinese people, as the Netherlands Parlament, despite a warning (!) from the Chinese ambassador, invited and intends to meet with the Dalai Lama when he visits Holland.
