A meeting between the Dalai Lama and singer Lady Gaga has angered the Chinese government and Chinese citizens. The exiled Tibetan spiritual leader was at the U.S. Conference of Mayors in the state of Indiana when he met Lady Gaga. The two took part in a discussion on Sunday about human rights, kindness, and compassion. Lady Gaga posted photos and videos on social media of herself with the Dalai Lama. Chinese social media users were not happy. Many quickly expressed their anger over the meeting. Lady Gaga is hugely popular in the country, but the Dalai Lama is seen by the Chinese government as a dangerous separatist. According to the BBC, one Chinese Weibo user wrote that the meeting shows that Lady Gaga has not “considered her Chinese fans.” Another wrote, “she has given up on the Chinese market.”
