China criticised a meeting between the US’s new Special Coordinator for Tibetan Issues Robert Destro and Tibet’s president-in-exile Lobsang Sangay, accusing America of trying to destabilise the region.
Destro “violated the commitment and the policy stance of the US side on not supporting Tibet’s independence and not acknowledging this government in exile,” Chinese Foreign Ministry spokesman Zhao Lijian told a daily briefing in Beijing on Tuesday.
Sangay tweeted a photo of a meeting with Destro in Washington, saying it was the first time a president of the exiled government, called the Central Tibetan Administration (CTA), had been formally invited inside the State Department.
Zhao referred to the CTA as a “separatist political organisation,” also calling Sangay “an out and out anti-China separatist.” “China firmly opposes him engaging in anti-China separatist activities in whatever status and under whatever pretext in any countries,” he said.
