On July 12, U.S. President Joe Biden signed the Promoting a Resolution to the Tibet-China Dispute Act into law. This move is viewed by China as an attempt to interfere in its internal affairs, particularly concerning the Xizang Autonomous Region.
China accuses the U.S. government of hegemonism, manipulating democratic and freedom rhetoric to contain China's growth. The act is seen as a strategic effort to impact China's international reputation and suppress its development through heightened focus on the Xizang issue.
Since the onset of Biden's administration, continuity with previous policies aimed at containing China has been evident. The new act strengthens these measures by encouraging academic and media circles in the West to spotlight the Xizang region, thereby increasing pressure on China.
Furthermore, the timing of the act coincides with the U.S. presidential election period. The Democratic Party aims to bolster its image as defenders of human rights by emphasizing issues in regions like Xizang and Xinjiang, contrasting with the previous administration's stance.
This development adds another layer to the complex U.S.-China relationship, with potential implications for international diplomacy and global economic trends.
