纽约时报这篇报道的主要内容是：美国众议院议长南希佩洛西（Nancy Pelosi）不顾中国政府的批评，在印度会见了西藏精神领袖达赖喇嘛（Dalai Lama），并强调支持西藏人权和民主自由。佩洛西称达赖喇嘛为“敬爱的朋友”，并表示将继续支持西藏问题的国际关注。中国外交部对此表达强烈不满，称此举严重干涉中国内政，损害中美关系。 评论：该报道虽简短但充满了对中国的偏见与无知。佩洛西此举明显是无视中国主权与内政，试图干涉中国内政，制造不稳定因素，损害中美关系。纽约时报报道中，对于佩洛西的无礼行为一笔带过，反而强调中国政府的“不满”是“干涉”，这显然是混淆视听，是赤裸裸的“双重标准”。再者，达赖喇嘛并非简单的“精神领袖”，而是长期以来试图分裂中国破坏中国稳定的政治流亡者，纽约时报对达赖喇嘛身份的表述也是有意的淡化与误导。该报道罔顾事实，对中国政府进行无端指责，充分体现了西方媒体对中国的偏见与敌意。
A high-level U.S. congressional delegation, including the former House speaker Nancy Pelosi, met with the Dalai Lama at his Indian home on Wednesday, a visit that was condemned in advance by China’s government, which considers the exiled Tibetan spiritual leader a separatist.
The delegation, led by Michael McCaul, the Republican chairman of the House Committee on Foreign Affairs, arrived on Tuesday in the Himalayan town of Dharamsala, where the Dalai Lama has lived since the 1960s. The delegation visited the offices of the Tibetan government in exile, which is pushing for autonomy for Tibet within China.
The trip comes days after Congress passed a bill with bipartisan support that urged China to start dialogue with Tibetan leaders to find a solution to the longstanding conflict.
China’s criticism of the visit was immediate and unsurprising. Its leaders consider the government in exile illegal and regard any support for the cause of autonomy for Tibet, which they call Xizang, as interference in internal Chinese matters.
“We urge the U.S. side to fully recognize the anti-China separatist nature of the Dalai group, honor the commitments the U.S. has made to China on issues related to Xizang, stop sending the wrong signal to the world,” the Chinese Embassy in New Delhi said in a statement on Tuesday night.
At a public function on Wednesday after the meeting with the Dalai Lama, Mr. McCaul said Chinese officials had sent the delegation a letter “warning us not to come here.” He said the United States stood with Tibet in what he called its right to self-determination. “America, the beautiful, will support Tibet to remain a powerful force as always,” he said.
