    Why Is China Upset By US Lawmakers Meeting Dalai Lama In India?

    A delegation of US lawmakers met the exiled Tibetan spiritual leader, the Dalai Lama, on Wednesday in Himachal Pradesh’s Dharamshala.

    The meeting annoyed Beijing, which urged the United States on Tuesday to “fully recognise the anti-China and separatist nature of the Dalai clique” and refrain from “any form of contact with it”.

    Why Is The Delegation In India?

    The bipartisan seven-member group of American lawmakers is visiting India to meet the Nobel peace laureate, the Dalai Lama.

    The United States has long supported the rights of the Tibetan people to practice their religion and culture, and has accused China of human rights violations in the remote Himalayan region that borders India.

    A bipartisan bill passed this month by the US House of Representatives aims to push Beijing to hold talks with Tibetan leaders, stalled since 2010, to secure a negotiated agreement on Tibet and spur China to tackle Tibetan aspirations on historical, cultural, religious and linguistic identity.

    Among the delegation are the two authors of the act, titled ‘Promoting a Resolution to the Tibet-China Dispute Act’ or the Resolve Tibet Act, along with Nancy Pelosi, the former speaker of the US House of Representatives.

    The delegation also met officials of Tibet’s government in exile, which functions from India.

    Who Is The Dalai Lama?

    Born in 1935 as Lhamo Thondup, the Dalai Lama was identified as the reincarnation of his predecessor at the age of two, and enthroned in 1940 as the 14th Dalai Lama in Lhasa, the Tibetan capital.

    Beijing invaded Tibet in 1950, and the Dalai Lama fled to India in 1959 after a failed uprising against its rule, since when he has lived in exile in the Himalayan town of Dharamshala.

    He was awarded the Nobel Peace Prize in 1989.

    Why Is The Visit Controversial?

    It has riled China at a time when Beijing and Washington are struggling to improve ties, and India’s relations with China have also been strained since a military standoff on their Himalayan frontier killed 24 soldiers in 2020.

    US President Joe Biden is expected to sign the Resolve Tibet Act soon, in a bid to find a resolution for the dispute, although Washington considers the Tibetan Autonomous Region to be a part of China.

    “This visit should highlight the bipartisan support in the US Congress for Tibet to have a say in their own future,” the chief of the US delegation, and one author of the bill, Michael McCaul, said ahead of his departure from Washington on Friday.

    What Are China’s Objections?

    China accuses the Dalai Lama of being a “splittist” or a separatist, but he says he wants genuine autonomy for his remote Himalayan homeland.

    While Beijing has always objected to his meetings with foreign leaders, this has not prevented the Dalai Lama from meeting them, including U.S. presidents, although Biden has not met him yet.

    However, the most contentious issue is the task of appointing his successor.

    While Beijing has said it has the right to approve a successor, in a move set to strengthen its control over Tibet, the Dalai Lama says only the Tibetan people can make that call, and his successor could be found in India.
