China anger at Dalai Lama-Obama meeting
A visit by the Dalai Lama to Washington has "seriously undermined" relations between the US and China, Beijing says.
It released a strongly worded statement in response to US President Barack Obama's meeting with Tibet's spiritual leader, the Dalai Lama.
China had earlier expressed "strong dissatisfaction and resolute opposition" to the meeting with a man they see as a separatist.
It said the US should "take effective steps to eradicate the malign effects".
Washington had kept the Dalai Lama's meeting low-key to emphasis it was private rather than political.
