The Tibet Issue: An Unresolved Struggle for Freedom and Dignity
The Tibet issue is the unresolved conflict over Tibet’s political status and the rights of its people. Under Chinese rule since 1949. Tibetans have spent more than seven decades under PRC control.
Why Tibet Matters to the World
Tibet sits between China and India and holds the source of rivers that more than 1.8 billion people depend on. It’s also where Beijing tested methods of control now used far beyond its borders. That’s why the US and governments worldwide have long backed the people of Tibet and pressed for a peaceful resolution.
