President Obama welcomed the Dalai Lama to the White House today. The meeting was originally supposed to take place last year, but was postponed due to concerns that it could trouble the waters ahead of a US-China summit last fall.

President Obama welcomed the Dalai Lama to the White House today. The meeting was originally supposed to take place last year, but was postponed due to concerns that it could trouble the waters ahead of a US-China summit last fall. Every aspect of today's meeting is being closely watched, right down to where it was held, and who did and did not attend, as we hear from John Pomfret, who reports for the Washington Post.
