President Barack Obama
The White House
1600 Pennsylvania Avenue NW

The Honorable President Barack Obama:
We are members of the Chinese-American Community in the United States and
we are writing to express our disappointment in your decision to meet with
Dalai Lama at the White House on February 18, 2010.
As you may well know, Dalai Lama has never been a true Buddhist. He was
the head of the ruling class in a society with a serfdom system, under which
slaves suffered the same fate as American slaves before the American Civil
War. Since the end of the serfdom system in Tibet in 1959, Dalai Lama has
been unceasingly engaged in secessionist activities and has been behind violent
riots in Tibet and elsewhere. In fact, no country in the world, including
the United States, will permit secessionist activities, because this is
a solemn issue of state sovereignty and territorial integrity and is critically
related to the core interest of any nation. And this is why the Chinese
people in China and elsewhere in the world express concerns and indignation
about Dalai Lama’s secessionist activities.
A healthy and good relationship between the United States and China nowadays
has become increasingly important in order for both countries to face the
many common global challenges such as the economic recovery, global climate
warming issue, nuclear weapons proliferation, peace in the Korea Peninsula,
and global terrorism. The strategic long-term cooperation and mutual support
between the United States and China in world affairs has proved to be beneficial
to both countries. A mature relationship between the two counties must be
based on the mutual respect without impairing the core interest of the other
side, particularly issues of the state sovereignty and territorial integrity.
Your meeting with Dalai Lama will send a wrong signal to the Tibetan secessionists.
It will encourage Dalai Lama and his followers to be more active in stirring
up riots in Tibet and elsewhere. And it is certain to do great damage to
the U.S.-Sino relations.
It is for this reason that we write to you to express our concerns and our
strong opposition to your meeting with Dalai Lama. We hope that you will
be guided by your good conscience instead of political convenience, and
this meeting will be canceled immediately. Only so can you protect our nation’
s long-term interest.
Thank you very much for your considerations.
Sincerely yours,
Huiqiu Wu, Ph. D.President
National Association for China’s Peaceful Unification
Washington, DC
Sai-Yee Lee, President
Washington Association for the Promotion of China’s Reunification

中新社的報道:
美國華盛頓僑團聯名致信奧巴馬反對其見達賴
中新社華盛頓2月12日電 (記者 吳慶才)美國政府最近已經宣布奧巴馬總統將于
2月18日在白宮會見達賴喇嘛，此事引起美國各界以及身居美國的廣大華僑華人的廣
泛關注。2月12日美國華盛頓中國和平統一促進會、華盛頓中國統一促進會、喬治華
盛頓大學中國和平統一促進會三個大華盛頓地區的促統會組織聯名給美國總統奧巴
馬寫了一封公開信，表達了強烈不滿和反對的意見。
這封信指出，人所共知達賴喇嘛從來就不是一個純粹的宗教人士。作為一個
長期在國際上活動的政治人物，一個原西藏的奴隸主，達賴喇嘛一直從事着企圖分
裂中國的活動，他支持暴力犯罪，破坏西藏的和平与穩定。世界上沒有一個國家能
夠允許破坏主權和領土完整的行為，美國也不例外。這就是為什么全世界的中國人
都對達賴的分裂祖國的行為表示強烈憤慨和堅決反對。
信中指出，當前世界面臨种种挑戰，一個健康友好的中美關系顯得越來越重要。
中美兩國的戰略合作和相互支持才最符合兩國的共同利益。然而，兩國關系的成熟
應該表現在相互尊重的基礎上，不能傷害對方的國家核心利益，不能干涉對方的主
權和領土完整。奧巴馬和達賴的會面將不可避免地傷害到兩國關系，給分离主義者
發出了一個錯誤的信號，提供了一個舞台給達賴喇嘛從事分裂活動，這對世界和平
也將造成嚴重的威脅。
信件說，給總統寫信就是表達我們對會見達賴喇嘛的不滿。我們希望總統先生
立即取消与達賴喇嘛的會面，促進中美關系的健康發展，這才符合美國的國家利益，
有利于維護美國的大國形象。(完）
