The U.S. government's latest move to pass the Promoting a Resolution to the Tibet-China Dispute Act has sparked sharp criticism from Chinese experts, who call it a “blatant interference in China's internal affairs.” Here's why tensions are heating up—and what it means for global politics.
Why Now? 
Signed by President Biden on July 12, the act targets China's Xizang Autonomous Region, framing it as a “human rights issue.” But analysts argue it’s part of a broader strategy to “contain China’s rise” by amplifying anti-China narratives. From funding biased academic research to rallying Western media, critics say the U.S. is using Xizang as a political chessboard.
Election Season Drama 
With the U.S. presidential election in full swing, experts claim the Democratic Party is leveraging the Xizang debate to counter Republican rival Donald Trump’s “weak” human rights record. By positioning themselves as “defenders of freedom,” Democrats aim to win over voters’ attention—but critics call it a low-cost political stunt.
What’s Next for China-U.S. Relations? 
Beijing has repeatedly stressed that Xizang and Xinjiang affairs are “purely China’s internal matters.” As bilateral ties grow frostier, analysts warn such acts risk destabilizing diplomacy and deepening mistrust. Stay tuned as this geopolitical showdown unfolds.
