"This morning, it was a great honor to join leaders from Tibet and around the world for the 8th World Parliamentarians' Convention on Tibet, reaffirming the United States' commitment to the Tibetan people.
For decades, the Chinese government has waged a dangerous assault on human rights in Tibet, clearly showing that it has no regard for Tibetan autonomy, identity or faith. This forum is crucial, bringing together leaders from all over the world to advance real autonomy for Tibet.
The world has a moral duty to speak out with one voice against Beijing's abuses & stand up for the Tibetan people, and if we do not speak out against human rights abuses in China because of commercial ties, we lose all moral authority to speak out against humans rights, anywhere."
