Source Title: Said to Protect Tibetan Lifestyle Hua Chunying: Better to Protect American Lives
At the regular Foreign Ministry press conference on the 8th, a journalist asked: On December 4, the so-called “Special Coordinator for Tibetan Affairs” and Under Secretary of State Destro reportedly urged the US allies to approve the Called the “Tibet Equal Entry Law” it once again attacked and discredited the destruction of the language, culture and religion of Tibetans, Uighurs and Kazakhs in China. He also stated that the United States is committed to protecting the way of life of Tibetans. How does China respond to this?
Foreign Ministry spokesman Hua Chunying said that Tibet’s affairs are purely China’s internal affairs and interference from outside forces is not allowed. The so-called “Special Coordinator for Tibetan Affairs” established by the United States is totally out of political manipulation and aims to interfere in China’s internal affairs and undermine the development and stability of Tibet. China has always strongly opposed this and has never recognized it.
Hua Chunying noted that regarding the so-called “Tibet Equal Entry Act” of the United States, China has expressed its position many times before. This law seriously violates the basic norms of international relations and crudely involves China’s internal affairs. China follows a policy of openness. Tibet is an open Tibet and no decision has been made to restrict the entry of foreigners into Tibet. China welcomes foreigners to visit, travel and do business in the Tibet Autonomous Region of China. This policy will not change, but the premise is that you must comply with Chinese laws and relevant regulations and comply with the necessary procedures. Recently, envoys and diplomats from more than 20 Chinese countries have visited Tibet and all gave positive comments on the economic and social development achievements of the autonomous region in recent years.
The alleged elimination of minority languages, cultures, and religions by the United States is complete nonsense. In fact, the Chinese government guarantees the freedom of ethnic minorities to use and develop their own spoken and written languages in accordance with the law, as well as the freedom of religious belief for all ethnic groups. At present, among the people of all ethnic groups in China, there are nearly 200 million citizens who believe in various religions, there are more than 380,000 religious personnel, and more than 140,000 places for religious activities registered in accordance with the law. Religious books on Islam, Buddhism, Christianity, etc. have been translated and distributed. in multiple languages.
Everyone is paying attention to a recent Tibetan from Litang, Sichuan who became popular on the internet. As Ganzi’s tourism ambassador, he also taught everyone to learn some simple Tibetan during the live broadcast. So we also know that there are many star performers from Xinjiang Uyghur, or young people working in CCTV, who shine on their respective stages and are welcomed by young people of all ethnic groups in China. Life for Chinese minorities is improving, their places of origin are developing and their cultures are being passed down. This is a fact that everyone can see.
We urge the United States to stop using Tibet-related issues to interfere in China’s internal affairs and undermine the development and stability of Tibet, and not to provide any support to the “Tibetan independence” forces to participating in separatist activities against China. China will take all necessary measures to defend its own interests. We also believe that the international community will not be fooled by the lies of individual anti-China politicians in the United States.
Regarding America’s so-called commitment to protect the way of life of Tibetans, Hua Chunying said it is better to focus on protecting the lives of the American people. (CCTV reporter Zhao Jing and Zhang Xi)
