China Challenges Dalai Lama Amid US Legislative Push on Tibet

China has asked the Dalai Lama to rethink his political stance as the US prepares to implement a new Tibet policy law. A US Congressional delegation's recent visit to Dharamsala and supportive remarks for Tibet have heightened tensions. China urges the US to respect its sovereignty over Tibet.

China has issued a stern call for the Dalai Lama to reconsider his political stance and fully rectify his propositions as the US moves closer to enacting stringent new Tibet policy legislation. Addressing the issue, Chinese Foreign Ministry spokesperson Lin Jian emphasized that the Dalai Lama must significantly reflect on his political beliefs.

The visit by a high-powered US Congressional delegation to Dharamsala, offering staunch support to the Tibetan leader, has further escalated tensions. Prominent members of the delegation, including Michael McCaul and Nancy Pelosi, openly challenged China's policy on Tibet and called for renewed dialogue with the Dalai Lama.

Beijing has urged US President Joe Biden not to sign the Tibet policy bill, cautioning against sending misleading signals to the world about Tibet. The new law aims to counter China's assertions on its control of Tibet and fosters dialogue with the Dalai Lama, who has been in India since his escape from Tibet in 1959.
