June 15:
Dolma Tsering, Deputy Speaker of the Tibetan Parliament-in-Exile, expressed her joy at the passage of the 'Resolve Tibet Act' by the House of Representatives and expressed her eagerness for President Joe Biden to sign it into law. Following the United States' example, Dolma Tsering urged other countries that back Tibet's fight for justice and trust to step up their lobbying.

For Tibetans everywhere—and for everyone connected to the truth-and-nonviolence-based cause of Tibet—this is wonderful news. So, I want to express my gratitude to the members of the House of Representatives, Senate, and Parliament who have worked together across party lines to tackle this issue and provide their overwhelming support. According to Dolma Tsering, the "Tibet Resolve Act," also known as the Promoting the Resolution for the Conflict of Tibet, would have the effect of disproving the claim made by the Chinese Communist Party (CCP) that Tibet has always been a part of China.

The historical facts will now be able to emerge because of this. With the Tibet Policy Act, the reciprocal act, and now the Tibet Resolved Act, the United States has done more for Tibet than any other country, in my opinion, and we always claim this fact on the political fronts. Since it can be difficult to take the first move when faced with China's frightening presence, this will allow other democracies to follow the US's lead. "Let us hope and pray that those who are fighting for truth and justice in Tibet will follow the example set by the United States and elevate the cause of Tibet to a higher level," she continued.

Among the US dignitaries that Dolma Tsering brought up was the impending visit of former House Speaker Nancy Pelosi and other high-ranking officials to meet with the Dalai Lama, the spiritual leader of Tibet, in Dharamshala. The team from both parties is being led to India by Michael McCaul, the Republican who chairs the House Foreign Affairs Committee.

Tsering expressed her eagerness to see President Joe Biden sign the bill, saying, "Of course, that will be the best gift to his Holiness and to the Tibetan People. I am very eagerly waiting for the President to sign it. When the high-level committee from the United States comes over to Dharamshala, I think that will be the biggest gift to his Holiness and the people of Tibet."

Tenzin Lekshay, spokesman for the Tibetan Government-in-Exile, stated that the measure has made progress and has obtained majority support in Congress. He emphasised that the bill is important for settling Tibetan issues and the question of the reincarnation of the Dalai Lama.

Throughout its lengthy history, the Tibet Bill has enjoyed bipartisan support in Congress. The suspension bill, which had already passed the House, has now received unanimous approval in the Senate. We are hoping that the president would sign the bill into law, as it is already in his desk, he added. "We expect a high-level US congressional delegation to Dharamshala by the end of this week," he said, referring to the upcoming visit of a Republican delegation led by Michael McCaul, who is also the House Representative for foreign affairs, and a former speaker of the House, Nancy Pelosi. They will be meeting with his Holiness, which is a positive evidence of US legislative support for the Tibetan struggle.

While meeting with high-ranking US delegates, Tenzin expressed optimism about the bill. The reincarnation of the Dalai Lama, he added, is just as important as ending the Tibetan issue, which is the focus of the law. “We are hopeful” was Lekshay's response when asked about the hopes for the US delegation's arrival. In contrast to earlier policies, this measure focuses on supporting the reincarnation of His Holiness the Dalai Lama as a means to end the Tibetan conflict and promotes peaceful resolution of the dispute via conversation and negotiation.

So, this bill is crucial, and it has also affected the historical sovereignty of Tibet issues, he continued. For the simple reason that we maintain that Tibet was once a sovereign nation before it was conquered, correct?Additionally, the Chinese government can be persuaded to engage in discussion with the Tibetan people if parliaments can recognise and comprehend that Tibet was an occupied state. Thus, this is our current state of mind. So, here's hoping that more and more countries are getting together and supporting this measure to bring more attention to the silent Tibetan issue and bring Tibet into the spotlight.

According to Radio Free Asia, a measure was recently passed by the United States Congress that calls on Beijing to resume talks with the Dalai Lama and other Tibetan leaders in order to end the territorial conflict in a peaceful manner.
Resolve Tibet Act, or Promoting a Resolution to the Tibet-China Dispute Act, was passed by the US House of Representatives and will now be signed into law by President Joe Biden, according to Radio Free Asia. Rejecting Beijing's claim that Tibet has always been an integral part of China, the bill demands that the Chinese government "cease its propagation of disinformation about the history of Tibet, the Tibetan people, and Tibetan institutions, including that of the Dalai Lama."

Additionally, it emphasised the importance of China initiating discussions regarding Tibet's governance with the Dalai Lama and other Tibetan leaders. Since 2010, there have been no official discussions between the two parties. The "status quo in Tibet is not acceptable," Michael McCaul stated, according to Radio Free Asia-reported. Following the bill's approval, McCaul stated, "I can think of no greater message or gift to the Dalai Lama and the people of Tibet than the swift passage of this bill to get to the president's desk as soon as possible, to help put the people of Tibet in charge of their own future."
