U.S. Secretary of State Marco Rubio announced on Monday that the United States has imposed additional visa restrictions on Chinese officials involved in policies that limit foreign access to Tibetan areas.
“For far too long, the Chinese Communist Party (CCP) has refused to afford U.S. diplomats, journalists, and other international observers access to the Tibet Autonomous Region (TAR) and other Tibetan areas of China,” Rubio said.
The statement did not specify the officials targeted or detail the nature of the measures. Rubio emphasized that U.S. diplomats are unable to provide services to U.S. citizens traveling in Tibet, describing the situation as “unacceptable.”
Washington’s move comes amid broader tensions between the U.S. and China over issues such as human rights, Taiwan, trade, and technology. The U.S. has repeatedly urged China to allow unrestricted access to Tibet and to respect religious freedom for all people.
