China has rejected U.S. remarks on Tibet, warning Washington not to interfere after Secretary of State Marco Rubio praised the Dalai Lama on his 90th birthday.
China’s foreign ministry said that the U.S. has “no position” to comment on Tibet, urging Washington to respect the sensitivity of the issue. The statement came after Secretary of State Marco Rubio praised the Dalai Lama’s legacy during his 90th birthday celebrations.
Spokesperson Mao Ning said he has “no right” to represent the Tibetan people or decide their future.
