Penpa Tsering, President of the Tibetan Government-in-Exile, criticized the use of the term 'Xizang' instead of 'Tibet,' calling it complicity in China's narrative on Tibetan sovereignty. Speaking to ANI, Tsering argued that 'Xizang' limits Tibet to the Chinese-defined autonomous region, undermining historical Tibetan territory. His remarks followed a January 7 earthquake in Tibet, which killed at least 126 people and prompted vigils in Dharamshala, India. The earthquake, measuring 7.1 by the US Geological Survey, caused widespread aftershocks. Tibetan organizations hosted prayers for victims, emphasizing unity among exiled communities.
