China denounces US for hosting Tibet’s leader-in-exile FMTNews FMTWorld
WASHINGTON: China accused the US Congress of interfering in its internal affairs on Wednesday by virtually hosting the head of an India-based organisation known as Tibet’s government-in-exile to speak at a hearing earlier this week.
Responding to a request for comment, the spokesman for China’s embassy in Washington, Liu Pengyu, said: “The so-called ‘Tibetan government-in-exile’ is an out-and-out separatist political group and an illegal organisation in total violation of China’s Constitution and laws.”“The invitation for the ‘Sikyong’ to speak at the Congress was an interference in China’s internal affairs. China is firmly opposed to this,” he said in an emailed statement.
Tuesday’s address was the first to Congress by the Sikyong, a leadership role created in 2012 after the Dalai Lama, the Tibetans’ 87-year-old spiritual leader, relinquished political authority in favor of an organisation that could outlive him.
