Biden's Tibet Policy Sparks Criticism Despite New Law

The Tibetan National Congress' New York and New Jersey Chapter criticized US President Joe Biden for reaffirming US policy that recognizes Tibet as part of China, despite signing the "Promoting a Resolution to the Tibet-China Dispute Act" on July 12. Tibetans appreciate the new law but feel Biden's statement contradicts his support for their freedom and human rights. Celebrations of the law's passage occurred in Tibetan communities in India. However, mixed reactions emerged online, with some praising the achievement and others expressing disappointment over Biden's comments.
