China has objected to the Dalai Lama appearing at Glastonbury next week, one of Europe’s largest music festivals, saying that his visit was tantamount to giving him a platform to engage in anti-China activities. Chinese spokesman Lu Kang said “China resolutely opposes any country, organisation, body or individual giving any kind of platform to the 14th Dalai Lama to engage in anti-China splittist activities”.
