Ahead of his visit to the University of Utah next week, members of the Utah
State Legislature have been warned against meeting with the Dalai Lama.
In an email sent to Republican and Democratic legislative leaders and
obtained by FOX 13 News, Dr. Taowen Le, a Weber State University professor,
warned lawmakers not to meet with the Dalai Lama.
Le is the U.S. representative for China's Liaoning Province and a board
member of the China Overseas Exchange Association.
"It is unfortunate enough that Utah has invited Dalai," he wrote in the
email. "Given your particular leadership roles in the state, any meeting
between you and him would be inevitably interpreted in ways that would
jeopardize Utah's relations with China."
"It takes years of efforts to build a good relation, but it takes only one
critical wrong move to sour it. As a long-time friend of the Utah State
Legislature who has lived in Utah for 32 years, I sincerely and
respectfully request that you carefully evaluate the circumstances and avoid
meeting with Dalai Lama."
Le declined an interview request, but said he was speaking on his own and
not on behalf of the Chinese government. |
