BEIJING — China denounced a decision by the U.S. Congress to award the Dalai Lama a Congressional Gold Medal, its highest honor.
The House of Representatives recently passed the bill, which recognizes the exiled spiritual leader for "his many enduring and outstanding contributions to peace, nonviolence, human rights, and religious understanding."
Passed by the Senate, it requires the signature of President George Bush.
The Chinese government had accused the Dalai Lama of waging a clandestine campaign for formal independence, though he says he wants only greater autonomy in hopes of preserving Tibet’s Buddhist culture.

Not to put too fine a point on it, but FUCK CHINA.
The Dalai Lama remains a popular and respected figure on the world stage despite China's campaign to isolate him.
He deserves highest honours that any civilised nations can offer. His campaign of non-violence and tolerance is still scaring China to the core. Not only genuine Buddhists all over the world support him, people from other faiths also respect and honour him.
Not much I can say about the heads of the Cambodian Buddhist monks appointed by the CPP.
