A statement issued by the Chinese Embassy in India on August 12 "strongly opposed the repeated provocative acts by the US" after the Chargé d'Affaires at US Embassy in New Delhi met with Ngodup Dongchung, representative of the Dalai Lama in New Delhi and said that the US respects "the Dalai Lama's vision for equal rights of people." The spokesperson of Chinese Embassy Counsellor Wang Xiaojian , said on his Twitter account on August 11 that the "so-called "Tibetan government-in-exile" is a separatist political organization with an agenda to pursue "Tibetan independence" which is completely in violation of China's Constitution and laws and is not recognized by any country". The Global Times (August 12) claimed: "experts said Blinken's visit to India demonstrates the US' intention of roping in India to contain China is clear and will remain unchanged and warned that by siding with the US, India would lose its strategic independence which is dangerous and not aligned with its interests".
