China not amused by Dalai Lama interview on John Oliver show

British TV host John Oliver has won rave reviews for his Last Week Tonight interview which showed the Dalai Lama in all his candour and wit.

Beijing, however, was not amused. China's foreign ministry said the exiled Tibetan Buddhist spiritual leader had appeared "deceptive" on the HBO show, where he criticised some Chinese leaders as small-minded and mocked Beijing's portrayal of him as "a demon".
