ritain should recognize it is not a big power but 'justan old European country apt for travel and study', Chinese state-run mediasnapped Tuesday as Prime Minister David Cameron visits.
'China won't fall for Cameron's 'sincerity',' the headline of the sharply-written editorial in the Global Times newspaper said, after Beijing was outraged by Cameron's meeting with the Dalai Lama last year.
The meeting had led to a diplomatic deep-freeze between the two nations. But on Monday the British prime minister met Chinese Premier Li Keqiang in Beijing where he signed a series of trade deals, before holding talks with President Xi Jinping.
On Tuesday Cameron continued what embassy officials said was the largest British trade mission ever to go to China with a visit to the commercial hub of Shanghai. China denounces the Dalai Lama -- who says he only wants greater autonomy for Tibetans -- as a dangerous separatist.
