Amid tensions with China, American lawmakers have introduced a law regarding their Tibet policy. The legislation reinforces the US policy of opening dialogue between China and Tibet. A bipartisan group of lawmakers has introduced the legislation in the US House of Representatives and in the Senate.
This law has been introduced in the direction of resolving their differences on the independence of the Tibetan people and a peaceful Tibet. It has been claimed that the law reinforces the long-standing US government goal of peacefully resolving differences between Tibetans and China through dialogue.
No talks between Dalai Lama and Chinese officials since 2010
US Congressman Jim McGovern said, Tibetan people are also entitled to their rights under international law. Their rights have been restricted by the Chinese government. The law seeks to initiate dialogue between China and the Dalai Lama or his representatives, he said. A media release said that no formal talks have taken place since 2010 and Chinese officials continue to make unreasonable demands on the Dalai Lama as a condition for further talks.
