China battles with Dalai Lama
China called the Dalai Lama a ''wolf in monk's robes'' Wednesday and said it was locked in a ''life--and--death battle'' with his supporters after protests marking the biggest challenge to Chinese rule in Tibet in almost two decades.
China on Tuesday sternly warned US President Barack Obama not to meet the Dalai Lama as planned, ratcheting up tension in ties between the two global giants already dogged by recent spats over trade, cyber-hacking and sale of arms to Taiwan.
