China Criticizes Dalai Lama's Grammy Win; Trump Threatens Lawsuit Over Grammy Joke; China Bans Hidden Car Door Handles
Beijing criticized the Dalai Lama's Grammy win, while Donald Trump threatened to sue Trevor Noah over a joke made at the same awards ceremony, and China banned hidden car door handles on electric vehicles due to safety concerns.
China reacted angrily to the Dalai Lama's Grammy win in the audiobook category for "Meditations: The Reflections of His Holiness the Dalai Lama," according to BBC World. Foreign ministry spokesman Lin Jian stated that China "firmly oppose[s] relevant parties using art awards as a tool for anti-China political manipulation," emphasizing that this was a consistent position. The Dalai Lama, who has lived in exile from Tibet since 1959, accepted the award with "gratitude and humility." Beijing considers him a rebel and separatist.
Meanwhile, also at the Grammy Awards, former US President Donald Trump threatened to sue comedian Trevor Noah over a joke about Trump and Jeffrey Epstein, BBC World reported. As host of the event, Noah quipped, "Song of the Year - that is a Grammy that every artist wants almost as much as Trump wants Greenland, which makes sense because Epstein's island is gone, he needs a new one to hang out with Bill Clinton." Trump was known to have been an associate of Epstein for years, but says he had no knowledge of his crimes and that they fell out in about 2004.
In other news from China, the country banned hidden door handles on electric vehicles (EVs), becoming the first country to do so, according to BBC Business. The regulations, which come amid increasing scrutiny of EV safety, require cars to have a mechanical release both inside and outside the doors. The decision follows deadly incidents, including two fatal crashes in China involving Xiaomi EVs where power failures were suspected of preventing doors from opening. The design had been popularized by Tesla.
