China demands that the British side seriously address China's stern stance, clear up the negative effects of the meeting and bring China-Britain relations back to the healthy track with effective and practical moves, he said.
The Telegraph quoted a British Foreign Office spokesman as saying: "This is disappointing as we believe that it damages both Chinese and British interests. We strongly believe it is in the interests of both countries to manage our differences sensibly and cooperate as much as possible."
The Dalai Lama is due to return to Britain on Thursday for a 10-day, pre-Olympic tour to various British cities, and how the trip unfolds could have a significant effect on Sino-British relations, sources in Beijing told the newspaper.
The Foreign Ministry said earlier that the meeting has grossly interfered in China's internal affairs, hurt the feelings of Chinese people and sent false signals to the "Tibet independence" forces led by the Dalai Lama - "a political exile who has long been engaged in anti-China secessionist activities in the name of religion".
