CTA Urges U.S. to Back Tibetans Facing CCP Retaliation

The Central Tibetan Administration (CTA) calls for active U.S. support to Tibetans facing backlash from the CCP. While the US Resolve Tibet Act is a landmark move, concrete aid is essential. Tibet's struggle includes human rights concerns, cultural suppression, and environmental damage.

The Central Tibetan Administration (CTA), headquartered in Dharamshala and representing exiled Tibetans, has urged the United States to provide tangible assistance to Tibetans who face ongoing backlash from the Chinese Communist Party (CCP). Through a post on X, the CTA stressed that while the US Resolve Tibet Act is a notable step in countering the CCP's attempts to alter Tibetan history, active support for the Tibetan community is crucial amid growing retaliation.

The US Resolve Tibet Act is designed to support Tibetans and address Chinese policies in Tibet by enhancing US backing for the Tibetan people, promoting human rights, and challenging what are seen as oppressive measures by the Chinese government. Following a military invasion in the 1950s, Tibet came under Chinese control, prompting the Dalai Lama to flee to India and establish a government in exile.

Human rights organizations and Tibetan advocacy groups have reported various issues in Tibet, including political repression, restrictions on freedoms of speech and assembly, arbitrary detentions, and cultural oppression. Additionally, environmental damage and resource exploitation have raised concerns. International entities continue to advocate for peaceful dialogue to address these matters.
