China Shows No Interest in Talks on Tibet, Targets Tibetan Buddhists: US Commission

The Congressional Executive Commission on China (CECC), in its annual report on December 20, criticized Beijing for severe human rights violations in Tibet, citing disinterest in resuming talks with the Dalai Lama since 2010. Tibetan Buddhism is the largest religious group among detained prisoners, with 678 recorded in CECC’s database. The report also highlights China’s use of the term “Xizang” in English communications to shape Tibet’s global narrative. Protests in February 2024 against a dam in Derge County underscored displacement concerns, reflecting trends of forced relocations and cultural erosion. CECC warns these policies systematically suppress Tibetan identity and rights.
