China warns Mongolia over Dalai Lama visit
China has warned Mongolia of "serious repercussions" to their bilateral ties if it allowed Dalai Lama's "separatist activities" during his ongoing visit to the country. This comes while the recession-hit Mongolia is negotiating a $4.2 billion loan from China. Notably, China regards Dalai Lama as a Tibetan separatist, which it claims is already "peacefully liberated".
