The Chinese foreign ministry summoned Indian ambassador Vijay Gokhale to lodge an angry protest over the visit of the exiled Tibetan leader the Dalai Lama to contested territory along the two countries' border.
The Dalai Lama travelled to Arunachal Pradesh, parts of which Beijing claims as South Tibet, earlier this week.
"Inviting and approving the visit of the Dalai Lama to disputed areas between China and India has damaged our interests and China-India relations," foreign ministry spokeswoman Hua Chunying told a regular press briefing.
"We oppose the visit by the Dalai Lama to relevant areas and opposes the attempt by relevant countries to arrange a platform for the Dalai Lama to hold anti-China and separatist activities," Xinhua News quoted Hua as saying.
China had "launched representations" over the visit with the Indian ambassador to China and with the country?s foreign ministry, she added.
