President Joe Biden's signing of the "Promoting Resolution of the Tibet-China Conflict Act" has escalated tensions with China.

Blatant Interference

According to Lenta this has prompted strong objections from Beijing

The Chinese Ministry of Foreign Affairs condemned the bill, labeling it a blatant interference in China's internal affairs and a violation of international norms.

The legislation, aimed at resolving the Tibet issue, has been criticized by China for allegedly undermining its sovereignty and sending misleading signals to pro-independence groups within Tibet.

China has lodged a formal protest and issued a stern representation to the United States, asserting that Tibet is an integral part of China's territory.

Damages China's Interests

The Chinese Ministry of Foreign Affairs expressed its firm opposition, highlighting the potential damage to China's interests due to the bill's implications.

Previously, the spokesperson of the Chinese Embassy in the US, Liu Pengyu, indicated that China is prepared to respond symmetrically to restrictions imposed by the US administration.

He condemned the visa restrictions imposed on several Chinese officials, signaling potential retaliatory measures.

The Biden administration's move reflects ongoing US efforts to address human rights concerns globally, while China views such actions as unwarranted interference in its internal affairs.
