President Obama is following through on his intention to meet with the Dalia Lama. China has the US "warned" against the meeting, suggesting that it would but a strain on their current relationship with the US. Some US officials, however are under the impression that China has too much invested in their relationship to follow through with any negative sentiments towards the US.
So our president is really attempting to make big strides in the international community. He said that he wanted to take a more diplomatic approach in international affairs and this seems to me moving in that direction. However, I'm not sure how realistic this endeavor is. As much as I would like to see it work out the way Obama has it planned, I'm not sure that that is something either party in China/Tibet is willing to take part in.
