Beijing, December 22
China on Tuesday said it would impose reciprocal measures against unnamed American officials and their family members who were behind a legislation passed by the US Congress on Tibet, asserting that it brooks no interference in its internal affairs.
The US Congress has approved a USD 900-billion COVID-19 relief package late on Monday, along with USD 1.4 trillion of regular government funding, that also includes some acts regarding Tibet and Taiwan, as well as clauses relating to the Hong Kong Special Administrative Region, state-run Xinhua news agency reported.
The act directs the US government to issue economic and visa sanctions against any Chinese official who interferes with the Dalai Lama’s succession.

Eric Swalwell.

In fact, at this moment, 9 percent of the students studying in our University of California system are from China.
