"Government's about-turn on Tibet," headlines Politiken. Now that Obama is meeting the Dalai Lama, Danish authorities have suddenly decided to embrace a new position on Tibet. The daily recalls that as recently as December, "Denmark announced that it was opposed to Tibetan independence" in a declaration published on the eve of the Copenhagen climate summit "to sweeten relations" with China, which protested against the Dalai Lama's visit to the country the previous spring. "Now however, the government has changed its tune," notes Politiken.
