China says US is in 'no position' to point fingers over Tibet issues

CHINA, JUL 8 – China rejects US criticism over Tibet, accusing the Dalai Lama of separatism and asserting control over religious succession amid rising diplomatic tensions.

  • On July 8, 2025, China's Foreign Ministry stated that the United States is in 'no position' to criticize China on Tibet-related issues during a press conference in Beijing.
  • This statement came in response to remarks made on July 6 by the top US diplomat, Marco Rubio, who celebrated the Dalai Lama’s 90th birthday and emphasized the importance of safeguarding Tibetan cultural and religious freedoms.
  • China's spokesperson Mao Ning asserted that the Dalai Lama, living in exile, promotes separatist actions against China disguised as religious efforts, and she rejected his authority to represent Tibetans or determine Tibet's destiny.
  • Mao called on the US to acknowledge the sensitivity of Tibet-related matters and the separatist actions of the Dalai group, while Rubio expressed backing for initiatives aimed at protecting the unique language, culture, and religious traditions of the Tibetan people.
  • Experts say China views control of Tibet as essential for its border security and regional expansion, rejecting Tibetan autonomy or the Dalai Lama's leadership under its sovereign framework.
