The Central Tibetan Administration welcomed the Tibetan Policy and Support Act passed by the US Congress, calling it a historic move and a clear message to China

The US Congress has passed a bill that reaffirms the right of Tibetans to choose a successor to their spiritual leader, the Dalai Lama. The law has been described by Dharamshala, the seat of the Tibetan government-in-exile, as a historic move and a clear message to China.

The Tibetan Policy and Support Act of 2020 (TPSA), which was passed by the US Senate, requires the foundation of a US department in Tibet’s primary city of Lhasa and underlines irrefutably the privilege of Tibetans to pick a replacement for the Dalai Lama.

“The TPSA makes it official United States strategy that choices with respect to the resurrection of the Dalai Lama are only inside the authority of the current Dalai Lama, Tibetan Buddhist pioneers, and the Tibetan public,” said an articulation by the Central Tibetan Administration after the Senate endorsement. The House of Representatives has just cleared the bill.

“Any impedance by Chinese government authorities will be met with genuine authorizes and considered forbidden into the United States,” the assertion said.

Stung by the US move, the Chinese unfamiliar service blamed the US for interfering in its inside issues and asked the Donald Trump organization against marking the enactment into law. “We ask the US side to quit interfering in China’s inside undertakings and cease from marking into law these negative statements and acts, in case it further damages our further participation and two-sided relations,” Chinese unfamiliar service representative Wang Wenbin told instructions in Beijing on Tuesday.

Lobsang Sangay, leader of the Central Tibetan Administration, portrayed the enactment as a triumph for the Tibetan opportunity battle. “We have been pushing for this throughout the previous two years,” he said. He said the move by the US Congress was an accolade for the incredible tradition of His Holiness the Dalai Lama and to the boldness and fortitude of 6,000,000 Tibetans inside Tibet.

The Dalai Lama, at that point 23, had crossed into Arunachal Pradesh’s Tawang in April 1959 to get away from the Chinese that had attacked Tibet nine years sooner and had ruthlessly smothered the uprising contrary to Beijing’s standard. The Dalai Lama and a large number of Tibetans who followed him were gotten comfortable in the Himalayan town of Dharamshala in Himachal Pradesh where he has been living estranged abroad from that point forward. There are more than 80,000 Tibetans living estranged abroad in India; 150,000 more around the globe especially in the US and Europe.

China has been endeavoring to destroy Tibetan Buddhism from that point forward. It captured Gedhun Choekyi Nyima in Tibet, only three days after he was broadcasted as the eleventh Panchen Lama, the second most elevated Lama of Tibetan Buddhism, in May 1995. He has never been seen since. All things considered, Beijing chose its own six-year-old Gyaltsen Norbu as the eleventh Panchen Lama a half year later and enthroned him at Shigatse cloister.

The US law is critical on the grounds that China has just begun the cycle to recognize its form of the rebirth of the fourteenth Dalai Lama. China has said its chiefs reserve the privilege to affirm the Dalai Lama’s replacement, which many see as a coercive endeavor to control Tibet, where ethnic Tibetans make up about 90% of the populace, a Reuters report said.

This implies if the Tibetan public chooses to proceed with the foundation of the Dalai Lama, there could be two Dalai Lamas. Similarly, as there are two Panchen Lamas and two inquirers to the title of the seventeenth Karmapa, the head of affluent Karma Kagyu school.

Sangay said the TPSA sends an uproarious and clear message to China that Tibet stays a need for the United States and that it will proceed with its unfaltering help for His Holiness the Dalai Lama and the CTA.
