China's bullying tactics 11 - Obama not to have any contact with the Dalai Lama "in any form and in any name"

Phalyul reports on January 6:

Foreign Ministry spokeswoman Jiang Yu said Tuesday, "We urge the U.S. to clearly recognize the severe consequences of arms sales to Taiwan and adhere to the three Sino-US joint communiques, especially the principles established in the Joint Communique on Aug. 17, 1982.”

Jiang was responding to a question on China-U.S. relations in 2010 at a regular press briefing. As the Obama administration is reportedly expected to approve the sale of arms to Taiwan early this year and as President Barack Obama prepares to meet the exiled Tibetan leader the Dalai Lama China said it firmly opposed arms sales to Taiwan by the U.S. and any contact with the Dalai Lama “in any form and in any name.”

Do the Chinese authorities seriously think that Obama is a Chinese citizen who can be told who to talk to?
