US Starts to Focus on China's Tibet Policy Again
Real Estate News:China's Tibet policy is back in the spotlight in the United States and the European Union. New legislative bills have been introduced, and new proposals are being pushed to allow the US Department of State and EU officials to more closely inspect Chinese practices on Tibet. The 'Resolve Tibet Act' calls for enhancing US support for Tibet and 'pushing for negotiations without preconditions between the Chinese government and the Dalai Lama or his representatives or the democratically elected leaders of the Tibetan community.' The bill aims to empower State Department officials to actively and directly counter disinformation about Tibet from the Chinese government.

America's role in Tibet is not new, but has seen ebbs and flows from the early days of the Cold War to the present era of counteracting China's assertive rise. The Central Intelligence Agency (CIA) was active in the 1950s, training Tibetan rebels in Colorado and parachuting them into Tibet from a Pakistani airbase.

Besides the American beltway, China's Tibet Policy has begun to ring alarm bells among America's close allies - the EU, New Zealand, and Australia, where Tibetan civil society groups and representatives of Tibet's government in exile have become more active in amplifying their concerns.

In the new Cold War, Tibet, unlike Taiwan or the South China Sea, has hardly featured as a geopolitical hotspot in the brewing US-China competition and contestation. However, as the US-China great power tussle heats up, and contentious issues like Tibet are unearthed from the cold storage of moral activism to the frontline of policy discourse in Washington and other Western capitals, time will tell if the activism of the bipartisan bill and the EU parliamentarians bring about any dramatic change on the Tibet issue.
