Released by ChinaAid, February, 2010 ...
"CHINA AID – On behalf of human rights defenders around the world, ChinaAid welcomes the positive exchange between the Dalai Lama and President Barack Obama on February 18, 2010.

In the past we have seen a softer side to the President's pragmatic stance on international policy, but [the]meeting and recent events defending internet freedom and other security issues have shown a new trend in U.S. policy towards human rights in China."
