First, the South Korean government abstains when voting about human rights abuses in North Korea, and now they
denied the Dali Lama a visa to visit South Korea.
Quote:
When a Nobel Peace laureates' conference takes off in South Korea next month, exiled Tibetan spiritual leader the Dalai Lama will be conspicuous by his absence.
Seoul has rejected his application for a visa, reportedly under pressure from China, according to a top official of the Tibetan government in exile.

China is South Korea's number one trade partner and, in addition, Seoul also needs Beijing's help in persuading North Korea to give up its nuclear ambitions.

I would say the U.S. is not much better as we have done little to help the Dali Lama or Tibet.
