German Chancellor Angela Merkel received the Dalai Lama in Berlin on Sunday, knowing full well that it would infuriate Beijing. The German press welcomes her firm stance on human rights issues and plays down any long-term damage to relations between Germany and China. The exiled Tibetan spiritual leader spent an hour with the chancellor in what were described as private and informal talks. After the meeting Merkel's spokesman Ulrich Wilhelm said that she had assured the Dalai Lama of "her support in his efforts to maintain the cultural identity of Tibet and in his policy of non-violent striving toward religious and cultural autonomy." There have been concerns, particularly among German businesspeople with interests in China that Sunday's meeting could damage Berlin-Beijing relations. China's Foreign Ministry had called in Germany's ambassador to Beijing earlier this month to protest the impending visit and China cancelled a two-day meeting scheduled for this weekend on legal issues with German Justice Minister Brigitte Zypries citing "technical reasons." The German press on Monday played down the risk of any long-term damage to relations with Beijing and praises the chancellor for her emphasis on human rights in her foreign policy.
