Only German source.

Germany’s chief of government (chancellor) Angela Merkel met with the Dalai Lama in her office in Berlin. As a result, the People’s Republic of China canceled talks with the German minister of Justice, which were about to begin, “for technical reasons”.

That’s cool. Merkel grew up in commie East Germany (GDR), so seemingly she doesn’t like totalitarian regimes.

How do we get her to meet … Anette Lu ?
Or well… the Presidente of the Republic of China ?

But she shouldn’t fly China Airlines, I like her…
:smiley:

Germany is now screwed. It will need to manufacture their ledenhosen elsewhere.

I met the Dalai Lama and China didn’t say anything in protest.

“Lendenhose” sounds good, you should get a copyright on that one. Sounds sensual.
Now what is “Lende” in English? Tigh or so…

You meant “Lederhose”, yearn (snorr, dozing off…)
:sleepy:

Don’t you just hate it when China gets miffed?

They are so sensitive too. If we all want to cash in, we are going to have to learn how to be more appeasing to that big red beast.
