Tibetans in Exile Applaud Passage of US Bill That Condemns Beijing s Interference in Dalai Lama Selection

Tibetans in Exile Applaud Passage of US Bill That Condemns Beijing’s Interference in Dalai Lama Selection Tibetan groups outside of China welcomed the passage of a new bill by Congress and called on other countries to follow U.S. leadership in supporting Tibetans currently being persecuted by the Chinese regime. The Tibetan Policy and Support Act was passed on Dec. 21 as a part of the 2021 omnibus spending bill, which would set aside $1.4 trillion in spending for government agencies and $900 billion in COVID-19 aid. The legislation, which updates the Tibetan Policy Act of 2002, would authorize the use of sanctions under the U.S. Global Magnitsky Human Rights Accountability Act to punish Chinese officials who “directly interfere with the identification and installation of the future 15th Dalai Lama,” according to the language of the bill.

UPDATE 2-Tibetan leader welcomes U S bill that reaffirms rights, angering China

23 Dec 2020 / 10:39 H. (Updates byline) By Neha Arora and Cate Cadell NEW DELHI/BEIJING, Dec 22 (Reuters) - The political head of Tibetans in exile on Tuesday welcomed legislation passed by the U.S. Congress that reaffirms the rights of Tibetans to choose a successor to their spiritual leader, the Dalai Lama, a move that infuriated China.

Coronavirus Stimulus Bill Details Dalai Lama Succession

22 Dec 2020 Both houses of Congress passed a bill late Monday allocating $600 in stimulus payments for Americans that also included the text of the Tibet Policy and Support Act, a bill that delineates how the United States should recognize a successor to the current Dalai Lama. The Dalai Lama is the senior authority in Tibetan Buddhism and considered the senior political authority in Tibet. Tibetan Buddhists believe that the Dalai Lama is a reincarnated being – the current living Dalai Lama is the 14th of his line – who will return following the death of the current titleholder, Tenzin Gyatso. Tibet is currently occupied by communist China, resulting in the current Dalai Lama’s exile to India and an attempt by Beijing to hijack the process of choosing his successor.

New Delhi and Beijing The political head of Tibetans in exile on Tuesday welcomed legislation passed by the United States Congress that reaffirms the rights of Tibetans to choose a successor to their spiritual leader, the Dalai Lama, a move that infuriated China. The legislation calls for the establishment of a U.S. consulate in Tibet’s main city of Lhasa, the absolute right of Tibetans to choose a successor to the Dalai Lama, and the preservation of Tibet’s environment. The measure was tacked onto the year-end spending bill approved by both chambers of Congress on Monday, which also included the nearly-$900 billion COVID-19 relief package in its $2.3 trillion of spending authorization.
