'China Will Do Anything to Suppress': US Lawmakers Meet Dalai Lama in Dharamshala, Back Tibetan Cause
Mast said the United States will keep backing Tibetans as he criticized Beijing’s repression and warned against any Chinese role in the Dalai Lama’s succession.
- On Wednesday, September 30, 2026, House Foreign Affairs Committee Chairman Brian Mast met with the Dalai Lama to reaffirm Washington's support for Tibet and the Tibetan people.
- The meeting occurred as the Trump administration navigates relations with Beijing, following President Donald Trump's meeting with Chinese President Xi Jinping last week.
- Mast criticized Beijing's attempts to influence the Dalai Lama's succession, saying "There's no measure that I believe China wouldn't go to" to suppress Tibet's people.
- Beyond Tibet, the House of Representatives remains dedicated to opposing what the Chinese government is doing to repress the Uyghur people, Mast emphasized.
- Responding to Radio Free Asia, Mast warned that Beijing "will send police to different countries to observe anybody that they can and repress what they do not want to see." Congress may pass bipartisan measures supporting Tibetans.
