Bush urges China to open dialogue with Dalai Lama
US President George W. Bush on Wednesday urged China to open a dialogue with the Dalai Lama, saying Beijing would find the exiled Tibetan spiritual leader to be a ``fine man.''
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.
