China said it "resolutely opposed" Czech President Petr Pavel's meeting in India with Tibetan spiritual leader the Dalai Lama, and urged the Czech side to "abide by its one-China political commitment" and maintain healthy and stable relations.
China's embassy in the Czech Republic posted the notice late on Sunday and said China firmly opposes any form of contact between officials of any country and the Dalai "clique".
Pavel met with the Dalai Lama on July 27, it said.
"China urges the Czech side to abide by its one-China political commitment, take immediate and effective measures to eliminate the bad influence," the statement said.
It added that the Czech side should stop sending "any wrong signals to 'Tibetan independence' separatist forces."
The Dalai Lama has been living in exile in India since 1959 following a failed uprising against Chinese rule in Tibet, and Indian foreign relations experts say his presence gives New Delhi leverage against China.
India is also home to about 70,000 Tibetans and a Tibetan government-in-exile.

Cool. Who else is gonna step up? Richard Gere ain’t making’ it.
Why does CHY-nah think they can tell world leaders who they can or can’t meet with?
Rhetorical question, I know.
Arrogant Chinese bastards.
The President should resolutely sit down with the Dalai Lama and have a nice long chat.
How do you say “PACK SAND” in Chinese ?
Where are all the “free tibet” bumper stickers?
No mention of the 1.5 million Tibetans the Chinese murdered in cold blood in this story?
China is asshoe!
Exactly.
The Czechs should give China the finger and meet with him anyhow.
