NEW DELHI: As US Speaker Nancy Pelosi spoke strong words after meeting the Dalai Lama, China on Friday warned against any international "meddling" in its "internal affairs" and asked countries like India not to be "misled" by the spiritual leader's "nice words".

"We oppose any country, any organisation, any person interfering in China's internal affairs. We have stated clearly that Tibet is China's internal affair.

"We don't allow anybody to meddle in China's internal affairs. Any attempt to cause trouble to China is doomed to fail," Chinese Ambassador to India Zhang Yan told the media.

His strong words came as US House of Representatives Nancy Pelosi met the Dalai Lama in Dharamshala and asked all freedom loving people to speak out against China's "oppression" in Tibet.

The envoy was guarded in his comments on India saying China appreciated the position adopted by New Delhi and hoped that it would continue to have the "correct" stand with regard to developments in Tibet.

On Pelosi's meeting with the Dalai Lama, Yan said "no no country, organisation or person" should "take any irresponsible step or say irresponsible words" on happenings in Tibet.
