Obama just this week met with the Dalai Lama in direct contravention of China's wishes.

And Obama criticizes Israel sometimes by stating that the murder of thousands of civilians or the expansion of illegal settlements are "unneccesary" or "not helpful to peace" too, but it's just window dressing and not to be taken seriously.

And what if China tries to do the same with our Native American Reservations?

For China it would be enough to acknowledge the Lacotah Republic to fire up the Civil War in the US.
