BEIJING, March 12 (AFP) - China reacted angrily Wednesday to a Taiwanese parliamentary resolution asking President Lee Teng-hui and foreign ministry officials to meet the Dalai Lama during his upcoming visit to the island.

The resolution was adopted on Tuesday and appeared to contradict the stated low profile Taiwanese officials have said they will adopt over the Tibetan spiritual leader's visit.

"We are opposed to any activity by any person or in any form which is aimed at splitting the motherland," a Chinese foreign ministry spokesman said.

"It is our hope that the Taiwan authorities will adopt a prudent and wise attitude and refrain from doing anything that would undermine the unity of the motherland and harm national solidarity," he added.

Taiwanese Foreign Minister John Chang had previously said he would not meet the Dalai Lama so as not to further strain ties with Beijing.

The Dalai Lama, a Nobel Peace Prize winner, is to start his first visit to Taiwan, considered a renegade province by Beijing, on March 22 at the invitation of a Taiwanese Buddhist group.

The Dalai Lama has lived in exile in India since fleeing Tibet in 1959 following an abortive anti-Chinese uprising.
