The war between China and Tibet continues to remain the same. China on Thursday attacked the US of trying to destabilize Tibet, moments after Washington designated a senior official to look after Tibetan affairs as it uprises pressure on Beijing on human rights issues. US secretary of state Mike Pompeo on Wednesday elected Robert Destro as the new special coordinator for Tibetan issues. The US continues concerned with China’s “repression of the Tibetan community, including the lack of meaningful autonomy, the deteriorating human rights situation in Tibetan areas, and severe restrictions on Tibetans’ religious freedom and cultural traditions within China,” Pompeo said in a statement.

Reacting sharply, the Chinese foreign ministry said Beijing will not allow foreign interference in its internal affairs. Ministry spokesperson Zhao Lijian said, “Setting up of the so-called special coordinator for Tibetan issues is entirely out of political manipulation to interfere in China’s internal affairs and destabilize Tibet.” “China firmly opposes this (the interference) and has never recognized this,” Zhao said at the briefing when asked to comment on the appointment.

China also announced on Thursday the US was severely undermining peace and stability in the Taiwan Strait after a US Navy destroyer sailed through the waters amid escalating tensions between Beijing and Taipei. The spokesperson for its Eastern Theatre Command, Zhang Chunxuan, said air and sea forces were mobilized to keep tabs on Wednesday on the USS Barry, an Arleigh Burke-class guided-missile destroyer. Zhang said the US has been sending “the wrong signal” to proponents of independence for Taiwan, a pro-US self-governing democracy that China claims as its own territory.
