(EDS: UPDATING, ADDING ANALYSIS)

China's Foreign Ministry, angered at Thursday's meeting between U.S. President Barack Obama and the Dalai Lama at the White House, summoned the U.S. ambassador to China to the ministry Friday to lodge a formal protest.

Vice Foreign Minister Cui Tiankai summoned U.S. Ambassador Jon Huntsman and ''lodged solemn representations'' over the OBama-Dalai Lama meeting, Xinhua News Agency said in a short dispatch.

The Foreign Ministry earlier Friday issued a statement expressing strong dissatisfaction with the meeting, saying that it went against repeated commitments by the U.S. government that the United States recognizes Tibet as part of China and gives no support to ''Tibetan independence.''

In the statement posted on the ministry website, spokesman Ma Zhaoxu said the Dalai Lama's meetings with Obama and separately with Secretary of State Hillary Clinton constitute ''gross interference'' in China's internal affairs.

''The U.S. act grossly interfered in China's internal affairs, gravely hurt the Chinese people's national sentiments and seriously damaged the Sino-U.S. ties,'' it said.

In his meeting with the Dalai Lama, Obama praised the Tibetan spiritual leader's commitment to nonviolence and dialogue with Beijing, while he urged China to protect Tibetans' human rights and their ''unique religious, cultural and linguistic and religious identity, the White House said in a statement after the talks.

Obama ''has consistently encouraged both sides to engage in direct dialogue to resolve differences and was pleased to hear about the recent resumption of talks.''

Obama and the Dalai Lama also agreed on ''the importance of a positive and cooperative relationship between the United States and China,'' the statement added.

In the weeks before Thursday's meeting, China had warned that another meeting between a U.S. president and the Dalai Lama whom it views as a separatist would affect China-U.S. ties and repeatedly called for its cancellation.

Ties between China and the United States have already in recent rolex replica months been strained over issues ranging from trade protectionism to the value of the Chinese currency.

The U.S. government's notification to Congress last month of its proposed $6.4 billion arms package for Taiwan led to China's announcements that it would suspend military exchanges with Washington and slap sanctions on private companies involved in the sale.

The Chinese Communist Party's United Front Work Department had early February said China would take ''corresponding action'' if Obama went ahead with the meeting.

But there were no immediate announcements of any such retaliation from China on Friday.

The Foreign Ministry's protest was also just a ''routine response'' similar to its reactions to previous meetings between U.S. leaders and the Dalai Lama, said Jin Canrong, vice director of the School of International Studies at Beijing's Renmin University.

The Dalai Lama has met with U.S. presidents in all his visits to the United States since he held talks with then U.S. President George H.W. Bush in 1991.
