Report Highlights China's Political Control Over Tibet and Calls for US Support
A report by the International Campaign for Tibet (ICT) highlights China's increasing political control over Tibet, noting the sidelining of Tibetans from key decision-making roles. The ICT urges the US Congress to reinstate full funding for humanitarian aid and capacity-building for Tibetan communities in India and Nepal, supporting the Central Tibetan Administration (CTA), Tibet's government-in-exile based in Dharamshala. The CTA provides services to the Tibetan diaspora, with the Dalai Lama as spiritual leader and the Sikyong as political head. The report calls for bipartisan US support through the Assuring the Future of Tibet Act.
