A meeting with the Dalai Lama and a few pictures on social media might have negatively affected Lady Gaga's stardom in China.
The pop star met with the leader of the Buddhist faith on Sunday while he was speaking in Indiana.
Before the meeting, Gaga was arguably one of the most popular Western musicians in mainland China. But after she shared photos of herself and the Dalai Lama on Instagram, her account was flooded with negative comments.
One user posted: "The way the Chinese feel is just like you were shaking hands with (Osama) bin Laden." Another wrote: "This is proof that she can love and respect a Chinese terrorist. She fundamentally looks down on Chinese fans, and even all Chinese people."
A day after the meeting, the Communist Party banned all of Lady Gaga's music in mainland China. The singer herself has also been barred from the country.
In 1959, the Dalai Lama fled the Chinese region of Tibet after a failed uprising against the Communist party. The government still considers him a separatist who is aiming to break Tibet away from China.
Lady Gaga joins other Western celebrities like Richard Gere, Bon Jovi, Maroon 5 and Selena Gomez, who have all had concerts, appearances or their work banned because of interactions with the Dalai Lama.

Lama Gaga?
Well they spent their time in the WH meeting with trash, so I guess it’s no biggie walking out past some more.
China showed her the back door, too?
You got a point there.
The “outside trash” was probably infinitely more pleasant than the “inside trash”.
Um, WHAT?? The CHICOMS are the terrorists against Tibet. There are even 2 Security Council resolutions from the 1960s demanding China withdraw...which are somehow ignored while they go after Israel on every one against them.
Big hitter, the Lama..
Can’t say I would criticize her for meeting with the Dalai Lama. I’m not Buddhist but he is a great man of peace and a Tibetan patriot.
Lady Gaga has elevated herself this time round.
Unlike a lot of the noise and electronic “enhancements” no talent soft porn lolitas like Britney Spears and naked what’s her name wrecking ball sex toy rely on, this woman can sing. And she’s apparently willing to tell the Chinese to FO. I’m liking her more and more.
Make me one with Gaga.
Oh, THAT Llama meet outfit!
Can Lady Gaga meet with Donald Trump and get herself
banned in the US......please?
That would work in many places throughout the country.
There is no shortage of libtards anywhere and their
game is to demonize anyone who is not one of them,
as you well know.
Hmm, looks like China has a little free market streak in them after all!!
