US EditionChina says US is in 'no position' to point fingers over Tibet issues
CHINA, JUL 8 – China rejects US criticism over Tibet, accusing the Dalai Lama of separatism and asserting control over religious succession amid rising diplomatic tensions.
- On July 8, 2025, China's Foreign Ministry stated the US has no position to criticize China over Tibet and urged recognition of its sensitivity.
- This statement came in response to comments made by U.S. Secretary of State Marco Rubio honoring the Dalai Lama's 90th birthday and highlighting his message as well as the preservation of Tibetan cultural and religious traditions.
- China views the Dalai Lama as a political exile engaged in separatist activities with no right to represent Tibetans or decide Tibet's future.
- Scholar Singh noted that control of Tibet underpins China's expansionist policy and coexistence with an autonomous Tibet contradicts the Communist Party's foundation.
- China's position implies no compromise on Tibet issues, asserting it will appoint the Dalai Lama's successor and oppose any form of Tibetan autonomy.
